The Road
Hurts · Exile [2013]
Darling, what's your name and can you hear me?
Tell me why you're out so late alone
The diamonds sparkle in your face, I hold you
The gravel glistens black and red below
Hollow, you drift into the night
Hollow girl
When I close my eyes, I see you
When I close my eyes, you're here
In the dead of the night, I feel you
When I open my eyes, you disappear
The metal wraps itself around your bones
And when it penetrates you, it feels cold
As you were born, you leave this world alone
A stranger on an unfamiliar road
The droning engine sings your Hallelujah
The broken headlamp lights your path to God
Hollow, you drift into the light
Hollow girl
But when I close my eyes, I see you
When I close my eyes, you're here
In the dead of the night, I feel you
When I open my eyes, you disappear
Tell me why you're out so late alone
The diamonds sparkle in your face, I hold you
The gravel glistens black and red below
Hollow, you drift into the night
Hollow girl
When I close my eyes, I see you
When I close my eyes, you're here
In the dead of the night, I feel you
When I open my eyes, you disappear
The metal wraps itself around your bones
And when it penetrates you, it feels cold
As you were born, you leave this world alone
A stranger on an unfamiliar road
The droning engine sings your Hallelujah
The broken headlamp lights your path to God
Hollow, you drift into the light
Hollow girl
But when I close my eyes, I see you
When I close my eyes, you're here
In the dead of the night, I feel you
When I open my eyes, you disappear
