I've chased this blue moon down all night   have I been gaining any ground?   Your picture's stapled to my dash   I'm done killing time in gray ghost towns      I'm heading south in search of life   The blinding turns, the twisting knives   Now I'm just driving straight on      I'll scrape the freezing rain    From off this window pane   A couple states from sane    Eyes aching, drift awaken      Until the ice bleeds blue    Until the green shoots through   Until I get to you   I'll brace for your screen door      Gravity struck, I rolled downhill   Seen depths I've never seen before   It's hard to warm against concrete   You can't wrap your arms around a floor      So now I beat a fast retreat back    To SLP and your street   Can you just hold on?      Living reckless and naive   It's always so easy to leave    But then it's hard to get back      I closed my eyes and I looked at you   Counted up all of my mistakes   Choked some more muddy coffee back   And did my best just to stay awake      If I could just stay awake   Don't know why I left you
