lyrics

driving north

i’ve got skin like birch bark, you can peel me off and lose me to the wind, i guess its too late, to protect myself from this. it feels like i’ve been driving north, its getting colder by the mile and at this rate i’ll be buried in snow in no time at all. but you’ve been building these walls for a long time, its not that i didn’t know but you’d flash me another smile as you’d lay another stone. and i still fall for that, i still fall for that one every time. this is all that’s left, just these sad sad songs, if you’re going to go your way, i guess i’ll carry myself along. could you build me a guardrail, to keep me from falling off of this ledge? or throw me a rope and pull me out of this? could you sew me a flag to remind me where i stand without you, its easy to forget. and this is all that’s left…. well i’ve been taking long drives with the music too loud, i’ve been dragging my feet over this february ground and i’ve been talking to strangers at the local bars, and i wish they were you, you know it just brings me down, tell me a joke or two i could use one now…’cause i’ve got skin like birch bark… and this is all that’s left…
