All the Way

I wasn't looking to shift my direction

My eyes straight ahead, hands ten and two

The gravity of our first connection

Veering off the road and into you

And all the people drive by slowly gawking at the scene

Of the smoldering inevitable spark and gasoline

All the way I met you head on full speed

At the heart the blue flame burns

All the way I took the crash course impact

But have I learned all that I'm supposed to learn?

No amount of playing safe could save me from this day

The heat-seeking path of my trajectory

Didn't we coolly divest of predestination

Slamming into futures we can't see?

And I know what can happen when there's more than meets the eye

But there's no way to avoid it just get in the car and drive

All the way I met you head on full speed

At the heart the blue flame burns

All the way I took crash course impact

But have I learned all that I'm supposed to learn?

It makes me laugh, we're talking over tea

(I know what I should do)

When I can still smell the smoke on my sleeve

(I don't wanna do it)

Steaming like gun smoke the wreckage of our past

(I would like a way out)

And the scene of a crime I still can't leave

(But I can't get to it)

Oh, you and me, we should let well enough be

But each revisitation points to clues

There's the oil slick of uncertainty

And warning signs back there we didn't use

At least we laugh about it now how we escaped alive

It's remarkable the mess we make and what we can survive

All the way I met you head on full speed

At the heart the blue flame burns

All the way I took crash course impact

But have I learned all that I'm supposed to learn?
