I knew it was impossible back then
Driving me out to the airport
The mistake in my hand
'Cause I had signed for the car rental
Without reading the fine print

It was my money on the line
But, babe, you were so mad
Like I was just a kid
Apologising for being so bad

And later, when my body took flight
My head was buried in the ground
I had to bury deep
Just to hide the sound

So I took to driving west
I took that band out pretty far
But never to where you live
Oh, I am a coward, and I know my own heart

And yeah, you knew it too
All one shade of a kind of mood
That kind that breaks in half
But don't worry, I started it, I made that first move

And somewhere green in Michigan
My friends said I looked different
I had to bury deep
Oh, that Vegas dream

All these things are incidents
All mistakes and transience
Trust is both brief and rescindable
So I'll pick it up limb by limb

Till I can call you back again
Till I can be a better friend
Till you can call me back again
Till you can be a better friend
Go on and––
Go on and––
