Lyrics
Don’t worry baby, it’s nigh.
The end of our time, the brush on your thigh.
The feeling of toiling and loving only to watch it all die.
I’m a long time in coming along for one hell of a ride.
We took planes. We took trains. We took automobiles.
And it was still just me looking at you when we stopped
spinning the wheels. Dusty and lonesome and craving
a glance that starts in your heart then shoots into your pants.
So, what did we do about it?
The same thing that everyone does
Cancel the contract you had with your soul
And cut out the love
Cuz if you’re fighting yourself,
Then no one is fighting for you
Baby, that’s how I like it.
I wanna be down there with you.
We took planes. We took trains. We took automobiles.
And it was still just me looking at you
When we stopped spinning the wheels.
Dusty and lonesome and craving a glance
Remember? We used to hold hands.
Now, I just go out alone when I need to dance.
