Stalling out
On the streetcar tracks
Could I make it to Biloxi
And back
And I will wait
To call you now
Till I got a good thing to talk about
And several hours
Out of our hometown
With a lightning strike
Shaking the highway around
Could we stay put?
Or turn back now?
I should've known
If I wait
Till I'm alone
To send my love
Then a good thing's gone
Then a good thing's gone
And I drive fast
To cancel out
The 2 to 3 hours
It takes to leave the house
Talking alone
To an empty room
Oh I should've known
We'll both take
Two more months
To respond
Till a good thing's gone
Till a good thing's gone
It feels wrong to know you now
But there ain't one thing changed
Since I last came around
And I can't stand to watch from afar
Makes it harder on me
To know where you are
For every day we spend together there's sixty apart
All around us
Like an atlas
She calls me home
Between the silence
Surrounds us
And calls me home
And I
Wanna reach out
Wanna call you
And let you know
I'll make
The trek love
In an instant
I'm not alone
