lyrics

Alone
Is how
You drive through open country with the windows down
The diesels howl
And I am heading home no better time than now
Time than now
I’m cold
As night
As Colorado winters, as the looks you hide
So I’ll
Just drive
And leave behind forgiveness
Give this road my life
And leave behind forgiveness
Give this road my life

Hearts
Don’t believe
What you may have seen
Smoke
Is all I breathe
What more do you need

The desert wide
Buy silver at the rest stop with a turquoise eye
And coral cries
A tear just like a bloodstone think I’m gone this time
Gone this time
Takes love
To hate
We go our separate ways each and every day
Until
It takes
Til I shout out my lungs on empty interstates
Til I shout out my lungs on empty interstates

Hearts
Don’t believe
What you may have seen
Smoke
Is all I breathe
What more do you need

Don’t say
Goodbye
Just know that I did everything except for try
The open sky
speaks volumes if you leave room, if you ask them why
Ask them why
So one
More night
Before me and the cost if I don’t close my eyes
Just read
Between
The lanes the lines and hope to god you translate right
The lanes the lines and hope to god you translate right

Hearts
Don’t believe
What you may have seen
Smoke
Is all we breathe
What more do you need
