She's My Ride Home
Blue October · Foiled [2004]
We talked
Together sharpening a knife
Like killing partners for our life
Hey we can hide the bodies on the ride home
Now here we are
We're licking skin to wipe us clean
Strike a match pour gasoline
Ditch the scene and watch the city burn
Asleep my life will be a pillow steering wheel turn
I'll be reaching for the stars with you honey
Who cares no one else believes
So I
Set fire to everyone around
But I can't do
I told told you we'd do it
So ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Yeah we won
We drive
To leave the past
And clear the mind
To watch the sunset set its time
I swear you're fine
On your ride home
Now close your eyes
It's getting dark and the highway's clear
No sign of life from front to rear
It's just you my dear
On the ride home
We're going home
I'll be reaching for the stars with you honey
Who cares no one else believes
So I
Set fire to everyone around
But I can't do
I told told you we'd do it
So ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Yeah we won
We talked
Together sharpening a knife
Like killing partners for a life
Hey we can hide the bodies on the ride home
Cause we're going home
I'll be reaching for the stars with you honey
Who cares no one else believes
So I
Set fire to everyone around
But I can't do
I told told you we'd do it
So ha, ha, ha, ha
(We won)
Ha, ha, ha, ha
(Oh yeah we won)
Ha, ha, ha, ha
(We won)
Ha, ha, ha, ha
(Yeah we won)
Yeah we won
Together sharpening a knife
Like killing partners for our life
Hey we can hide the bodies on the ride home
