well, it takes our lives such a long, long time to be right where you are.   and loneliness is the awful trip in the backseat of the car.   and you told me this and you taught me that   when you kept me up all night.   and we changed our lives a million times until we got it right.   and you led me away from home and into the country.   and we both did close our eyes and we ran into nothing.   and loneliness is an awful trip in the backseat.   and you're talking soft and low and i'm talking 'bout nothing.   oh, and i found hope. oh, and i've seen changes.   if your view looks good, oh, then my view's fading.
