Why can't I follow
Your last three Foot steps?
Into the midnight
And out of my life?

So lets bow out gracefully and try to save our dignity,
Harsh words wont do us any good tonight
And neither will the patch you left as you peel away,
And all I smell as lights fade away is burning rubber and my burning heart

Pedal to the floor,
I'll drift into oncoming headlights
Hands over my eyes,
I'm drifting over center lines
Pedal to the floor, hands over my eyes,
I'll drift into oncoming headlights

This feeling, This evening
I promise I'll save this lie for you
This feeling, This evening
I promise I'll save this lie for you

Go away I realize that this was never meant to be,
And I wont look back as I drive into the night
Lets end this conversation with a cliché way to say goodbye,
I'll wear a plastic smile and say that I'm alright

(Drive away, in the night)

If I could I'd write a letter of a thousand words,
Then I'd never sing it to you,
And If I try I try to stay awake this time,
Try to make it home tonight
