[Verse 1]
You took the tunnel route home
You'd never taken that way with me before
Did you feel a need for change?
Apologies on your fingernails
Love flickered in the city of lights
Like intermittent radio waves
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I've just got to get home
[Chorus]
And I feel like I'm breaking up
But I wanted to stay
Headlights on the hillside
Don't take me this way
I don't want you to hold me
I want you to pray
This is bigger than us
[Verse 2]
You went where the horses cry
You'd never taken that way with me before
Did you feel a need for change?
Guilt smeared across your lips
I was tired and cold from the window
You're tired nothing's changed
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I've just got to get home
[Chorus]
And I feel like I'm breaking up
But I wanted to stay
Headlights on the hillside
Don't take me this way
I don't want you to hold me
I want you to pray
This is bigger than us
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
And I feel like I'm breaking up
But I wanted to stay
Headlights on the hillside
Don't take me this way
I don't want you to hold me
I want you to pray
This is bigger than us
And I feel like I'm breaking up
But I wanted to stay
Headlights on the hillside
Don't take me this way
I don't want you to hold me
I want you to pray
This is bigger than us
And I feel like I'm breaking up
But I wanted to stay
Headlights on the hillside
Don't take me this way
I don't want you to hold me
I want you to pray
This is bigger than us
