Your Brushfires

Woke up and you were gone again
It's the third time
You keep asking me
To run with you to your British Columbia
And why do I keep saying yes to this

I found you lying on the floor of the forest
I know it's the closest you get
To being totally soulless
No you don't have to feel shit
When you're so deep in the trees
When you scream that no one hears it

And on the drive back to the stateline
A subtle smile played on your eyes
Cause you know you can't outrun your brushfires
But you're still gonna try
Well I guess I'm trying too

And in the night
The windows of your neighbors show scenes of life
Why aren't they swallowed up by wanderlust?
Or when they look back are they envious of us?

So tell me a lie, go for a ride
I'm too drunk to fear it
Sacrifice time for sacchrine highs that
We didn't need 'til I am lost
And a long way from home
But the stars will keep me company
While the fire burns through my eyes
And empties me of everything
