Well, the grasses are swaying, sun's going down   Music is playing, you?re weaving through town   Pull into the drive way, toss it in park      You stare out of the windshield, out into the world   It was all for the love of a wayward girl   Who left you with a second place smile and a broken heart      And the streetlights are starting to flicker to life   They glow for a minute then they get bright   Fireflies light up, circle and spark      There?s nothing really that you can do   Put your hands in your pockets, try to get through   The distance between the daylight and the dark      And the front porch flags lie themselves down   Like forgotten soldiers and old wedding gowns   In closets unopened and graves without any marks      As the night curtains lower behind the rooftops   Shadows dance across the sidewalks   And ricochet off of the houses like pieces of art      And your mind is reeling as the sky is changing   All you?re feeling and you?re re-arranging   The rest of your life like lines on an old sailors chart      You climb back in, fire the ignition   Put your hands on the wheel, head into the distance   The distance between the daylight and the dark
