I saw a coyote running down the highway last night
And it made me think of you
Yeah, it made me think of you
For a second as my headlights reflected in his eyes
It looked like he'd been cryin'
It looked like he'd been cryin'
Trying to find somebody or some place
He's always looking for
Pretty things that can't be held
Can't return the love they felt
You're only gonna hurt yourself
Holding out your hand
But I still think of you sometimes
And the flash of fear in your eyes
I got too close and now I understand
Now I understand
He said, hey, I know it's been a minute
I hope I didn't wake you up
But I just got back in town
And I'm over by your house
I can't defend the way I've been
Or the shadows where I hide
But baby let me in, and at least just let me try
Try to find a way to change your mind
Before the light comes in
Pretty things that can't be held
Can't return the love they felt
You're only gonna hurt yourself
Holding out your hand
But I still think of you sometimes
And the flash of fear in your eyes
I got too close and now I understand
Now I understand
I saw a coyote running down the highway last night
And it made me think of you
Yeah, it made me think of you
