Tail Lights

The red lights stare into your eyes
They burn like Ohio fireflies
We were younger on the summer nights
But I was born to lose
For a couple of bucks into the tank
We drove until the Moon had sank
A dead end life on a dead end road
I had everything to prove
(I had everything to prove)

The tail lights grew closer as I followed you home
A conversation took a turn and left me all alone
Poured all my heart and spilled my blood
I screamed until it hurt
I noticed that when I saw your eyes
There was nothing left to burn

The lonesome highway became my home
I burned up all these Ohio roads
The summer miles became winter nights
As I memorized I75
On the dead end road that took me back
To that end of summer heart attack
I parked the car and crossed the tracks
And I searched for those dying eyes
(Those dying eyes)

The tail lights drew closer as I followed you home
A conversation took a turn and left me all alone
Poured all my heart and spilled my blood
I screamed until it hurt
I noticed that when I saw your eyes
There was nothing left to burn

My memories are shaky, shaky at best
The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder
My memories are shaky, shaky at best
The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder

The tail lights grew closer as I followed you home
(Woah)

The tail lights grew closer as I followed you home
The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder
Poured all my heart and spilled my blood
I screamed until it hurt
The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder

The tail lights grew closer as I followed you home
The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder
Poured all my heart and spilled my blood
I screamed until it hurt
The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder
