In the Car Outside
I'm in the car
I just needed to clear my head
She's in the house
With the baby crying on the bed
She's got this thing
Where she puts up the walls so high
It doesn't matter how much you love
It doesn't matter how hard you try
We got a place
With a fence and a little grass
I put this film on the windows
And it looks like chapel glass
But when shе turns
It’s like the shadow of the cross don’t cast
No blеssing over our lonely life
It's like waiting for a train to pass
And I don’t know when it'll pass
But I remember when
She used to set the room on fire
With her eyes
Swear to God
It's like a flood of grief
And sorrow from a haunted life
When she cries
Like a train
It's a lot
I dropped a line
To a flickering high school flame
We laughed about
All the ways that our lives had changed
She’s up the road
About thirty-five miles north
Got two little boys in school
Just had a real bad divorce
And in a moment of weakness
I told her if
She ever needed a helping hand
I would lend
Swear to God
It's like the part of me
That's screaming not to jump gets lost
In the sound
Of the train
It's a lot
Trying hard
Not to care
Swear to God
I'm in the car outside
I'm in the car outside
I'm in the car outside
I'm in the car outside
