pavement grinds against the car
it’s okay, it’s not far
if we break down we can walk
take the long way and talk
you got something to say
like you do most every day
and i’ve got something to hear
everytime you are near
but i can hear it in your voice
i can sense it in your sigh
i can feel it in the air
and in the dullness of your eyes
as i glance outside the window
i notice something off today
there’s a stillness in the sky
all the birds have gone away
as the car comes to a stop
i can feel my stomach drop
and as my eyes fix to the floor
i remember everything you swore
you’ve got something to say
like you do most everyday
and i know it’s what i fear
as it starts to cross my ear
i can hear it in your voice
i can sense it in your sigh
i can feel it in the air
and in the dullness of your eyes
i can see the water dip
far below the lowest tide
a tidal wave is coming
and all i do is bide
