Lyrics

I drove you south through the landscape that you love
All those medieval towns
The cobbled stones washed by the blood of the martyrs
In the last great stand of the true believers
The hilltop villages bakin' in the afternoon sun
The walls pocked with old bullet holes
And the iron and the stone that broke the people's backs
Played out for the tourists
I've always considered it best never to disturb ghosts
But it seems women always want to go straight to the heart of things
And as you said
You have your reasons
And the roads are like
The lines in the palm of my hand
Wearing deeper and dividing
And for 3 a.m. confessions, the safest place that I know
Is here between departing and arriving
But never arriving
There was that club we used to go to way out by the park
Where the music was loud and the corners were dark
And we'd sit in those corners
Like some kinda witches coven
Ah, we were so young and brave
Always lookin' for trouble
It's easy to find it when you're lookin' for trouble
We'd take on all comers
When no more would come, we'd take on each other
So when the phone call came, I wasn't really so surprised
I set off with good intentions but soon I was lost
And the signs were all graffitied out
And the compass needle spinning
And the roads are like the lines in the palm of my hand
Wearing deeper and dividing
And for 3 a.m. confessions, the safest place that I know
(Oh-oh-oh)
Is here between departing and arriving
But never arriving
Never arriving
Still, still
Never arriving
(Oh-oh-oh)
And now I've seen the very worst that you could be
And you've had to witness the same of me
Somehow, it should be easy to forgive everything that happened
Back on the roads are stretched like the lines in the palm of my hand
Wearing deeper and dividing
And for cowards like me, the safest place that we know
(Oh-oh-oh)
Is here between departing and arriving
But never arriving
Never arriving
(Oh-oh-oh)
Never arriving
Never arriving
