The Words I Left Behind

Cracks on the windshield
Remind me of a Sunday afternoon
We were driving like there's nothing
In the world we had to do

You were talking over me
I wasn't listening to you
Tune was floating on the breeze
Something from 1982
What I'd give to go back
And give you the words I left behind

I might breathe a little better
I could sleep right through the night
Wouldn't need drugs and liquor
I'll be alright, I'll be alright

Clock on the dashboard
Reminds me of the things I've yet to do
This tired old interstate ain't the same
As it was when it was me and you

You were staring right at me
I was singing something new
There was a cut above my cheek
Where I broke the golden rule
And what I'd give to go back
And give you the words I left behind

I might breathe a little better
I could sleep right through the night
Wouldn't need drugs and liquor
I'll be alright

And I know you had these expectations
I'm sorry I had to let you down
I wasn't worth a damn in conversation
But maybe I'll be better, maybe I'll be better
Next time around
