lyrics

Verse 1: I’m not sure if I’m leaving, I’m not sure where to go
I’ve been fighting these feelings, I’m not sure that she knows.

Chorus: I fell flat on my face trying to make you feel love, you fell out of grace trying to make me feel young, and it’s a long dirt drive from here. (ALT: 1. lonely drive from here 2. long hard walk from here).
Bridge: Here we are, standing close to the end, I wish you well, courage, and the strength (heart) to start again. Here we are, standing close to the road, I wish you wealth, comfort, and shelter from the cold.

Verse 2: I can’t stay any longer, my love has spoiled to curds.
The trust that held us together, slowly melted and turned.

Chorus: I fell flat on my face trying to make you feel love, you fell out of grace trying to make me feel young, and it’s a long dirt drive from here. (ALT: 1. lonely drive from here 2. long hard walk from here).
Bridge: Here we are, standing close to the end, I wish you well, courage, and the strength (heart) to start again. Here we are, standing close to the road, I wish you wealth, comfort, and shelter from the cold.

Verse 3: I didn’t know my own shadow; I didn’t think I’d survive.
I didn’t know how to let go, I didn’t know that I’d find

Chorus: I fell flat on my face trying to make you feel love, you fell out of grace trying to make me feel young, and it’s a long dirt drive from here. (ALT: 1. lonely drive from here 2. long hard walk from here).
Bridge: Here we are, standing close to the end, I wish you well, courage, and the strength (heart) to start again. Here we are, standing close to the road, I wish you wealth, comfort, and shelter from the cold.
