Big Wheels

If we could I’d want to ride off forever right into the setting sun. Instead of standing at the bus stop together, waiting for a ride that will never come. As of now it’s half-past-eleven, every train has come and gone
You and I
We beat the rain home

These big drops falling, running down my face into my nose. Winter’s coming for us, I can feel it in my ears and in my toes. I push this last leg harder, though I don’t know where I’ll go
I think I’m close though
It’s about 1,000 pounds of pressure, and I’m too far behind
I’m late for work as usual I’d take the train if I were so inclined. Every minute matters so I’m taking my time
And it’s fine

If we could I’d want to ride off forever right into the setting sun. Instead of standing at the bus stop together, waiting for a ride that will never come. As of now it’s half-past-eleven, every train has come and gone
You and I
We beat the rain home

The obstacles are melting and the seasons change again
I only come out of my cave to feel the warm sun on my skin
If there were any justice, or any god left to defend, I’d die
Right where I stand
I’d been feeling very lucky, and so much taller than I had
I thought I’d rolled with all the punches and that I didn’t look that bad
And if only just this one time I wished that the feeling would last, but then it passed

If we could I’d want to ride off forever right into the setting sun. Instead of standing at the bus stop together, waiting for a ride that will never come. As of now it’s half-past-eleven, every train has come and gone
You and I
We beat the rain home

I
Will no longer plead for you love
As you falter
I
Will no longer just be thought of as your fodder
I
Have fallen off every time
So I can’t fault her
I
Will no longer burn for your love if you won’t bother

I was making all these promises I should have known I couldn’t keep
You were sealing off the last of yourself and ruining my sleep
And just before I jumped you knew I’d know it’d be too deep
But I
But I

Took the leap

If we could I’d want to ride off forever right into the setting sun. Instead of standing at the bus stop together, waiting for a ride that will never come. As of now it’s half-past-eleven, every train has come and gone
You and I
We beat the rain home
