lyrics

I’ve been driving for the past 10 hours, I’ve been burning every drop of fuel chasing down the light that’s to the West. To see if I can make it just to spend five minutes with Ruby. Then I’m afraid I must be going, I’ve got so very far to go. But I promise you I will return as soon as I can make the time.

I do this kind of thing with everyone I know. I keep them at a distance, so they seem closer to me and I will always be grateful for all the miserable and lousy luck that leads to better friends. Those with pain, those with love and those with sorrow. This unbearable existence is made much better when we share, so take what joy you can and meet me there.

I could tell you where I’m from, but I was born and raised just like everyone else. I sure as hell can’t say where I’m going, because I don’t even know where I am. All I’ve ever wanted to do, is right by those that have done right by me. So I take what I am given, and I try not to complain.

I walk this lonely street with everyone I know. It’s noisy and it’s crowded, and all the smiles go ear to ear. How can anyone not be grateful? For all that miserable and lousy luck that leads to better things filled with pain, filled with joy and filled with heartache. This unbearable existence for which we don’t long have to bear, just take what joy you can and meet me there.

For all the times where you wait until the moment was over to mention to yourself how much that it really means to spend some time in a heart, no matter how briefly it’s better than not having made any mark at all.

I’ll always be here if you need me, I’m not expecting you to call. It’s not like I’m just waiting by the phone for it to ring. I’d be happy if you even ever think of me at all. Because I’m sure I don’t deserve it, and you don’t owe me anything.
