lyrics

The little one won’t notice,
Something went wrong,
Until the first snowfall of the year.
And it'll be the first time she identifies with the ice.

The elder bow knows better though.
She thinks twice, but not quick enough to jump at a safer speed,
And so on with the passing of the streets.

There are cigarette stains in the passenger seat.
That stench of cracked leather, a sealed bottle, and a desperate need.

Seat belts locked, as with the windows.
Plenty of sights to see.
The Road and The Music so loud, it would drown out your screams.

Bright lights in the city tonight.
Smooth drive in the city tonight.

We’re ahead of schedule, I don't need to rush.
I should have cleaned up for my guests
I wasn't expecting company (yes you were)
One seems curious, the other turbulent
Not that I've a clue
No matter, they'll be mine soon (they'll be ours)
Sit back, relax.
Smooth drive in the city tonight.

I try to shake the feeling that
We're in danger.
He seems anxious,
Seat pulled back, knees at my chest
I hope it isn't much farther
Why would we be bequeathed at this hour?
Still, a friend of my father is a friend of mine.

There’s someone in the dark.
There’s someone in the dark here.
Which one of us is it?

Not everything is going to plan.
But he can’t look back now.
They’re out of harms way. And in their embrace. What would he need to say to the other witness?
Cause once she’s in their embrace...
What would he need to say?
...What would be the difference?

Our hands clasped together.
Another safety measure.
Fleeting thoughts that it might be better
Than anything that Our Father could ever
Conjure up.
We wait patiently. We still our feet.
Ignoring the weight.
The feeling that someone should be
In our seats.

It’s strange alright.
My shoulders relax.
I mean I’ve given this an awful lot of thought.
I just can’t believe
That it’s working so well.
Not that I've a clue.
But I know they’d never tell a soul.

It might be worth breaking a heart to keep another’s open.

Before you say anything.
I know, I know (we know) this is desperate.
No one’s coming for me.
Someone might be asking for them.
Before you say anything.
My eyes are peeled.
Listening closely.
It might be worth breaking a heart.

It might be worth breaking another’s apart.

The elder bow knows better,
Though not enough to help.
