Almost home   Check your mirrors cause   It would be unfortunate   If somehow this lane change   Became life-changing   If you hydroplaned   From the puddles   Accumulated from pouring rain   So...   Slow this car down   To keep this love alive   We are swirving, we are turning   Without the will to survive   Another dark night      The tires spinning through the rain   Reminds me my hopes are rushing down the drain   The radio is reporting a sighting of mars   But the cloud cover's too thick to even see the stars   The stars that used to shine so bright for us   Well, 'they must've died' the message the clouds send   But it takes awhile for them to stop lighting the sky   I guess that tells you just how long it's been      I'm home   I close the door   And collapse on the floor   Where we sat and talked   For hours on end   Before our moonlit walks   We'd take and say "My friend...   where have you been?"   and "let us catch up"    I can't stand seconds I don't see you   Tell me everything   Cause I love you   And that star exemplifies just how much      The pitter-patter I hear on my rooftop   Reminds me just how much memories cost   The T.V. weatherman is on and rambling   About cold fronts, record-lows and jetstreams   He doesn't even mention it's the first starless night   We've seen in so long, last time I wasn't yet alive   In a world accustomed to everything going right   But is it fair to assume 'the strong always survive'?      Tonight the only thing you really told me   Was the silence on the drive home   And me feeling alone in the front seat   Wanting to hug you like the car hugs the road   The only conversation was the rain drops    Against the window, telling me it'll be over soon   I can sleep til noon, but I still know   The same problem will shine through the window   When I wake up, and face me everywhere I go   There is... no... such... thing   As an easy solution   No panacea for our problems   No filter for all this pollutition      So slow this car down   To keep this love alive   We are swirving, we are turning   Without the will to survive   Another night like tonight
