Driving Past Your House at Night

Driving Past Your House at Night


Driving past your house at night
On my way home
Two silhouettes entwined
Inside your window
I try not to pay any mind
To what I know's not my concern
Owning up to feelings I simply wish weren't

Empty streets
Nobody left but the creatures of the night
She said I could stay over
But I couldn't make my head feel right - about it
I'm over you
Swear I'm really over you
Sometimes I get so low
I'd risk the bends to kiss your shoe
As you do

Driving past your house at night
On my way home
Two silhouettes entwined
Inside your window
I try not to pay any mind
To what I know's not my concern
Owning up to feelings I simply wish weren't

The town's too dark
Everybody wants to have a witch to burn for light
She said I could stay over
I didn't want to know which of us was right - about me
Stop messing around
I'm just messing around
For all that I know
I'm still a mess making messes
Bound to abound

Driving past your house at night
On my way home
Two silhouettes entwined
Inside your window
I try not to pay any mind
To what I know's not my concern
Owning up to feelings I simply wish weren't

Trying to be better than this
Trying to be better than this
But when no one is watching
I'm just trying not to lose my grip
Stare myself down in the rearview mirror
