the highway sang between
your ankle and your frown
something slowly sighed
as we pulled away from your hometown
I sob like a war
into the shoulder of the kitchen floor
now we avoid four-letter words
there’s only so much you can hurt
I took to you like open road
with the windows down and the radio
playing, one regret, one headlight out
I kiss you once then start to doubt it
and I never knew
what in the air made me miss you
now something aches in the in between
and my swan-neck breaks and I careen
and if we just drive away
maybe I won’t mind the days
if we just drive away
baby, maybe then I’d stay
but I sob like a war
into the shoulder of the kitchen floor
sank against the white-washed wall
I’m sorry about the phone call
and I never knew
what in the air made me miss you
something aches in the in between
and my swan-neck breaks and I careen
the tires swallow the distance
and I choke on places that I am missing
now we avoid four-letter words
‘cause baby, I know that love hurts
but I took to you like open road
with the windows down and the radio
playing- one October, one regret
promise me you won’t forget
one October, one regret
promise me you won’t forget
one October, one regret
how could I ever forget you?
