Broken yolk in western sky
My stomach turned, my mouth went dry
And I knew I'd never know fear before
I pressed my palms into the seat
And with one last look at you next to me
I kicked open the sliding door
And I threw myself out on the road
Torn flesh and broken bones
And in the shoulder's patchy grass
I faded into your past
ย
I know it was a cowardly thing to do
And that an explanation is not an excuse
I just need you to understand
My love is like some kind of greed
Of equal portions 'want' and 'need'
And I cannot divorce the two
I could not sleep at all
With all the rumble strip close calls
And in the gravel and scattered trash
I faded into your past
When you think twice you arrive at the same conclusion
And it's bad advice only if you use it
ย
And then you disappeared from view
And you became somebody new
Near the exit's overpass
I faded into your past
ย
