She calls me from the car

idling in the rain

and tells me it's too hard

to handle all the pain

the pain of wanting more

and me wanting the same

I throw on my shoes

I run outside

and she's gone


all the things going through my head

all the things that I left unsaid

I'm soaking wet now but I don't care

where we'll end up I don't know where

but we could


Get there

'cuz with you I'm not scared

just tell me that this thing is not dead

girl I'm ready for the road ahead

I know we could get there


I call her from my car

racing in the rain

having conversations with

with her answering machine

if I'd paid more attention I'd know

all the places she might go

but I'm blindly swinging in the wind

'cuz of how blind I have been


all the things going through my head

all the signs that I should have read

I'm going down now but you don't care

I know I deserve this and it's only fair

but we could


get there

(don't give up on me)

'cuz with you I'm not scared

(baby took so long for me to see)

oh but tell me that this thing is not dead

girl I'm ready for the road ahead

I know we could get there (I promise we'll get there)


I'm sorry that it took so long

I don't know why I didn't catch on

oh girl I wasn't listening to you

when you told me that we needed to talk

told you later and I brushed you off

oh girl (I wish I could undo) all the bridges I burned

and I lived and I learned

you're the one thing I had that was true

and I know what I had

only now that you're gone

I'm a shell of a man without you

but we could (but with you I'll get there)


get there

(I'll get there

took me so long to see)

'cuz with you I'm not scared (I'm not scared)

just tell me that this thing is not dead

I'm ready for the road ahead

I know we could get there (with you I'll get there)

(I know we could get there you and me)


but we could get there (I'll get there)

'cuz with you I'm not scared (tell me)

tell me that this thing is not dead

girl I'm ready for the road ahead

I know we could get there

(tell me that you wanna make this work)

(tell me that I can change the way you're hurt)

(I just wanna be with you)
