Black Ice

One hand on the steering wheel
And one on the cup
Two packs of sugar in my coffee
'Cause I've gotta wake up
Went almost three days without sleeping
And it wasn't enough
Time to tell you everything on my mind

Four and a half and if there's traffic, then five
Yeah, I'm still counting all the hours I've got left on this drive
I'll be lucky if I make it back to my house alive
Feel so stupid leaving all this behind

Going home never seemed so hard
You know that taking off like this always breaks my heart
But I kept all the CDs you left inside of my car
And I still listen to them all of the time

And I know that things aren't so bad
But that never seems to stop me when I'm feeling so sad
Wish that I could just be happy knowing what I had
'Cause it was perfect and for once it was mine

I stopped for candy and a coffee to go
I got black ice and pumped my gas all alone
And that air freshener smelled like shitty cologne
Well I never liked going home
