It’s not that I needed any kind of reason.
I did not need another line.
I needed a break from the seasons.
I needed a song that was mine.
Kicking the gift horse in the mouth.
Mama, oh mama, I’m headed south.
I found everything I wanted.
I wanted it more than you knew.
Now all of my highways are haunted,
haunted by the absence of you.
Chorus
The day breaks apart all around me.
My God, how did I get this far?
This far from the night where you found me
in the gutter with my eyes on the stars.
Chorus
