Road

Exactly a year ago, I drove down this road at night
I remember it so clearly, like it was just yesterday
The heavy snow made the cars a long train
The endless line of red taillights was beautiful

You in the backseat looked just like a child
With a smile on your face
Sleeping beauty in the woods
You glared at me like you’d resent me for waking you up
You held my hand back and said you wanted love...

I think those little things
Made me happy
Those ordinary nights
Are nights we can’t go back to

You told me you were having a baby
Talking hesitantly
Looking down, you closed your mouth and sighed deeply
Wondering if we should wait for spring and live together
You clung to me, smiling, and we held each other tight

I think those little things
Made me happy
Those ordinary nights
Are nights we can’t go back to

As winter neared its end in the room we rented
A devilish call suddenly dropped us into darkness
Counting down on the bed
Just like a child
With a smile on your face
Sleeping beauty in the woods
Exactly a year ago, I drove down this road at night
That same time, the snow was swirling just like then

I think those little things
Made me happy
Those ordinary nights
Are nights we can’t go back to

I think those little things
Made me happy
Those ordinary nights
Are nights we can’t go back to
