I would never turn my back I spent a long time waiting At the watering hole Expecting your attack Coming down all over the highway Coming back to nothing at all Oh, love, you have me walking the highway Walking back to nothing at all I had a hard time Playing by the book of your heart Tried to avoid a false destiny I mistook To play smart And in the wee hours The weirdest thing You tapped my shoulder and pulled me out I had a hard time working on the knot That I told you that I would untie Everyday is so much less Do we keep on pulling away? Oh, every day is so much less Can we keep on pulling, pulling away?
