Kiss
And a paper plate of course
You think of everything
Short love with a long divorce
And a couple of kids, of course
They don't mean anything
Live in trailers with no class
God damn, I hope I can pass
High school means nothing
Taking heartache with hard work
God damn, I am such a jerk
I can't do anything
And I shout that you're all fakes
And you should've seen the look on your face
And I guess that's what it takes
When comparing your belly aches
And it's been a long time
Which agrees with
Blue Horizon
from Into the Mystery
..............................................
Her car is how she left it. No dust has gotten in
The key turns on the dash lights, and the CD player spins
You hear her favorite music, the words she used to sing
The last song she was playing, now comes to life again
Beyond the blue horizon, together you and me
The road goes on forever, the road goes on forever
As far as I can see
Well, so much for forever, and the promise of a song
Why save her list of errands after she is gone
Her bracelet?s on the gear shift, and her sweater smells like her
And still her music?s playing, as if she might return
Beyond the blue horizon, together you and me
The road goes on forever, the road goes on forever
As far as I can see
You race away with wheel spin, and you?re slamming through the gears
And the headlights blur and sparkle to see them through your tears
And someone will find the wreckage, with the wheels turned to the sky
Led there by the music, singing through the night
Beyond the blue horizon, together you and me
The road goes on forever, the road goes on forever
As far as I can see, as far as I can see
Beyond the blue horizon, together you and me
The road goes on forever, the road goes on forever
As far as I can see, as far as I can see
As far as I can see
As far as I can see
