lyrics

I'm raining on your backseat window
I'm aching through your cold bones' marrow
I'm maybe just a feeling as you drive away

I wasn't going to grow up slowly
Maybe it's only you who knows me
My Dad sits around and wonders what to say

Chorus
And distance claims us, oceans break us,
Love believes it can't survive the space
I'm not for this, if that's what love is
My heart won't be divided for a place

Time isn't going to make things clearer
Fog breathing in your rearview mirror
Drive slowly and be swallowed by it whole

I'm shining from the moon at midnight
I'm walking with you deep in starlight
The safe feeling of your coat when it's getting cold

Chorus

And I'm not waiting for your letters
The postman's not running
Time won't make me any better
Your apology so slow in coming

I'm hiding in your dark heart's chamber
Who ever loved a sleeping savior?
I'm maybe just a feeling as you drive away
