Story Behind the Song
A ballad of empty car seats and running away from reality.
Lyrics
how am i supposed to fall in love with a dream,
can you tell me when you work it out?
it's like i'm lost on a long october night,
with no light to see by, and no way to get out.
and how does someone know the earth without falling,
and how does someone test the waters high?
so i try so hard to find safe harbor,
to ignore these feelings, that kill me from inside.
and it's been a long, long time underwater,
and i feel the undertow pulling down.
i wanna let go now and sink down deeper,
have the ocean, the sweet blue ocean, carry me away.
and could i convince the waves to stop moving,
and could i make a deal with the sand and the breeze?
i could make them all stand still and hear your gentle breathing,
just kiss me, and let me listen please.
now i'm off the beach and on the highway,
trees pass by, an endless blur of green.
looking to my side, to find somebody there,
to share this ninety mile memory.
and how does someone know to keep on going,
and how does someone cry out in the night?
and how does all this moving never take me anywhere,
i never realized what was wrong, didn't care what was right.
and it's been a long, long time underwater,
and i feel the undertow pulling down.
i wanna let go now and sink down deeper,
let the ocean, deep blue ocean, take me away. let the ocean, deep blue ocean, take me away.
and could i convince the traffic to stop moving,
could i make a deal with the road and trees?
i could make them all stand still, and hear your soft heart beating,
just kiss me, and let me listen please.
