lyrics

The words are hard to come by when it comes time to go.
I thought I had at least a couple things that you should know.
That I’m sorry that it didn’t work, it doesn’t every time.
I was just another traveler, you were just another ride.

Love might not have lived there but I know it hung around,
To plant a little something like a promise in the ground.
But nothing seemed to grow, it doesn’t every time.
Oh I was just another traveler, you were just another ride.

I don’t know where I’ll go, but I’d like to head back east.
Drink until I’m toppled by a North Atlantic breeze.
Forget about time wasted, and a heart you left to die.
Oh I was just another traveler, I wish you had passed me by.

I see new neighbors moving in, far on down the street.
And the kids are off to school, at the corner they all meet.
Home forever maybe if you didn’t already decide,
That I was just another traveler and you were just another ride.

I’m preaching to the front door, I’m speaking to myself.
I woke up with the sun rise, long after she had left.
And who’s to blame is like the dancing of a North Atlantic tide.
I was just another traveler she was just another ride.
