The Long Ride

You called me your answer

I said I'm something you're not prepared for;

I'll turn to a cancer that eats you alive 

Draining you from the inside 

You just said you're a dancer 

As you threw your shoes on to the beach 

and pulled me into the tide

I smiled, staring down to keep my step in time 

Now I can't help but crumble like the state of this room 

If things had gone better I'd ended with you

And found better days 

I've had better days 

Now I'm in for the long ride 

and sleeping alone nights 

While you've got it made

 with somebody laying

till morning by your side

Now I'm in for the long ride 

I called to no answer 

That was something I hadn't prepared for; 

you'd turned to a cancer that ate me alive 

draining me from the inside 

Did I have a chance or 

Had my pre-determined defeat left no hope to survive?

Were we future strangers still present in time?

Now I turn on myself like waves off this shore 

If id'a shown then what we chose to ignore 

I'd know better days 

Those were better days

I've had better days 

Now I'm in for the long ride 

and sleeping alone nights 

While you've got it made

 with somebody laying

till morning by your side

Now I'm in for the long ride 

If Id'a let go of the faults I found so flattering 

You'd be lying here next to me
