Driving North

[Verse 1]
I've got skin like birch bark
You can peel me off and lose me
To the wind
I guess it's too late
To protect myself from this

It feels like I’ve been driving north
It's getting colder
By the mile
And at this rate I’ll be buried in snow
In no time at all

But you've been building these walls for a long time
It's not that I didn't know
But you'd flash me another smile
As you'd lay
Another stone

[Bridge 1]
And I still fall for that
I still fall for that one every time

[Chorus]
This is all that's left
Just these sad, sad songs
If you're going to go your way
I guess I’ll carry myself along

Could you build me a guardrail
To keep me from falling
Off of the ledge?
Or throw me a rope
And pull me out of this?

Could you sew me a flag
To remind me
Where I stand
Without you it's easy
To forget

[Chorus]

Well I’ve been taking long drives
With the music too loud
I’ve been dragging my feet
Over this
February ground

And I’ve been talking to strangers
At the local bars
And I wish they were you
You know it just brings me down
Tell me a joke or two I could use one now

[Verse 1]

[Chorus]
