Driving hard for seven days
A few more miles of interstate
To Truth or Consequences
Horizon playing tricks on me
Is it clear or do I see
Something stirring in the distance
It’s been behind me since I left
Now it’s dead ahead

It’s hard to tell when a storm’s a brewin’
How long it’ll last which way it’s movin’                    
Fight the urge to slam it down 
Til the floor meets the pedal
There’s nothing wrong with
Waiting for the dust to settle

Blue sky turns to rust
Swallowed by a cloud of dust
Reluctant to pull over
I knew when I got off I-10
The desert might have other plans
Now I’m shackled to the shoulder
I was found but now I’m lost
I guess I’ll stay here til I’m not

It’s hard to tell when a storm’s a brewin’
How long it’ll last which way it’s movin’                    
Fight the urge to slam it down 
Til the floor meets the pedal
There’s nothing wrong with
Waiting for the dust to settle

The highway is a fickle friend
The weather turns at every bend
I could have just stayed home
Wait it out to see it through
Nothing left to prove

It’s hard to tell when a storm’s a brewin’
How long it’ll last which way it’s movin’                    
Fight the urge to slam it down 
Til the floor meets the pedal
There’s nothing wrong with
Waiting for the dust to settle

I was up before the sun that morning
Tip toeing on eggshells and packing up my car
The key was on the counter when I locked the door behind me
So I wouldn’t have the chance to change my mind

And I was halfway to Houston
By the time that he woke up
Did he wonder was I coming back 
Or was he glad to see me gone
I was trying not to turn that car around
I was halfway to Houston
When I broke down

I guess you could say that nothing happened
That’s not the same as saying nothing was wrong
How could we not notice a tender touch turned cold
It takes time to build a callous thick enough

I was halfway to Houston
By the time that he woke up
Did he wonder was I coming back
Or was he glad to see me gone
I was trying not to turn that car around
I was halfway to Houston
When I broke down

For the first time in a long time
I had the chance to ask myself just what I needed
The interstate gave me space to see it
Every mile hurt a little less

I was halfway to Houston
By the time that he woke up
Did he wonder was I coming back
Or was he glad to see me gone
I knew there was no turnin’ around
I was halfway to Houston
Halfway to Houston
Halfway to Houston
When I broke down

You’re getting what you want
But I ain’t got what I need
While I don’t know what that is right now
I know it’s not you for me

I’m not feeling too good right now
About what’s been left unsaid
Tight-lipped holding back if that’s
As good as this gets

I’m done holding my breath 
No more wasting my time
I’m done putting my heart last
In the back of your line
I got this feeling
That won’t be ignored
I know what I’m worth and I know what I’m looking for
I’m movin’ on

All I ever wanted
Was to go somewhere with you
But you’ve been slamming down on the brakes
When I push you pull away

I’ve been holding onto false hopes 
A little too tightly 
Suffocating myself
Waiting for your love to revive me

I’m done holding my breath 
No more wasting my time
I’m done putting my heart last
In the back of your line
I got this feeling
That won’t be ignored   
I know what I’m worth and I know what I’m looking for

For a reason that would make me want to stay
A reason I could give my love away
I’ve waited long enough

I’m done holding my breath 
No more wasting my time
I’m done putting my heart last
In the back of your line
I got this feeling
That won’t be ignored   
I know what I’m worth and I know what I’m looking 
I’m movin’ on

I see you in the self-checkout line
With your basket of groceries for one
More produce than anybody needs
When there’s no one to cook for at home

Then there’s me, another TV dinner
And a four-pack of canned champagne
Just a couple single people 
With a whole lotta evening to waste

There’s no sense in being all by ourselves
We both need the company 
and we ain’t doing nothing else
Now feels like as good a time as ever
Let’s be lonely together

We can watch bad rom-com movies
And criticize the sappiest parts
From our station on the sofa
We’ll be a nation of two lonesome hearts

There’s no sense in being all by ourselves
We both need the company 
and we ain’t doing nothing else
Now feels like as good a time as ever
Let’s be lonely together

Don’t make me spend
Another Friday night
All alone without someone to hold
I’m telling you, All this solitude 
Oh it’s sure it’s sure gettin’ old

There’s no sense in being all by ourselves
We both need the company 
and we ain’t doing nothing else
Now feels like as good a time as ever
Let’s be lonely 
Let’s be lonely
Let’s be lonely together

The moon so loved the mountain
She laid silver kisses on his shoulders
Though the mountain hungered to hold her
Her song fed his soul

The mountain studied the curves of her face
For when storm clouds and thunder intruded
Gravity tethered and rooted
Their long distance hearts

Oooh
There are some things that time doesn’t touch
When forever is barely enough mmmm

The mountain loved to surprise her
With bouquets of rose-colored evenings
She would rise as the sun was just leaving 
To fall once again

By day their longing grew painful
At night their passion was reckless
Til the sea and the stars became jealous 
Of their endless romance

In phases of darkness
In low tides and high
When the world comes between them
Their devotion doesn’t ask why

Oooh
There are some things that time doesn’t touch
When forever is barely enough
When forever is barely enough
Barely enough
