there's a cloud stretched over the highway
as I drive back home to nothing
but a bed where I'll sleep in a night
I will spend here alone and this pillow
still smells like your hair and the salt from your tears
I'll wish you were there as I curl up my arms
and hold them as if they were you

this big city life bears a promise,
from these flourecent lights on your face

I will miss you when I leave you,
I will lose you just to love you,
I will fall asleep knowing that somehow somewhere,
you'll be dreaming I will not be there,
as I hold you while your sleeping,
I know somehow somewhere,
I know everthing's O.K.

there's a letter with lipstick on paper
that I keep next to your picture for rainier days
when it's sunny wherever you are
and these empty hands that once touched your hair
ties to empty hearts,
that feels you still here and still pictures
the night way way under our stars.

this little town life isn't growing,
it's lonely wherever you are

I will miss you when I leave you,
I will lose you just to love you,
I will fall asleep knowing that somehow somewhere,
you'll be dreaming I will not be there,
as I hold you while your sleeping,
I know somehow somewhere,
I know everthing's O.K.

where you are is where
I will go when I follow these roads
where they take me and always remember
where you are I'll remember
where you are and somewhere tonight
there is a girl that's been dreaming
of a small city town and things
I have left just to love her, I still love her...
