The clouds hold
A storm over this road.
You're dreaming
Or at least you've got your eyes closed.

And this dormant love you've built
Inside your stubborn ways
Well its begging now for air
Of the sudden breath of change

As these waves crash, against the highway cliffs
I'm so scared they'll flood me where I sit
When roads they change to waterways
They never carry home.

You pull back,
And you angle towards the window.
Now the rain is crashing down,
And oh my god you're beautiful.
And I'm so unsated, still I pray you'll hold back your escape
Yeah we still got time
And in my mind these bends could be steered straight.

As these waves crash against the highway cliffs,
I'm so scared they'll flood me where i sit...
Well the roads, they change to waterways
They never carry home.

Well I'm sorry for
The things I had to say
And I'm sorry I...
I pushed your hand away
From the radio...
I pushed your hand away
From the radio...
I should have just let it go

    General Comment:This song is beautiful. I love how I can feel bored with music and a band comes along and surprises me with greatness.

    I think this song is about suppressed feelings/love. You know, those relationships where one person is way more into it than the other. The best part of those ones is where the person who cares less lets the other one fall hard.

    A storm over this road...
    You're dreaming...
    Or at least you've got your eyes closed

    And this dormant love you've built inside your stubborn ways,
    Well its begging now, for air...
    ...Of the silent breath of change...
    As these waves crash against the highway cliffs...
    I'm so scared they'll flood me where I sit...
    Well the roads, they change to waterways...
    They never carry home...

    You pull back (pull back) and you angle towards the window...
    Now the rain is crashing down,
    And oh my god, you're beautiful...
    And i'm so unsighted, still I pray you'll hold back your escape....
    Yeah we still got time
    And in my mind these bends could be steered straight...

    As these waves crash against the highway cliffs,
    I'm so scared they'll flood me where i sit...
    Well the roads, they change to waterways...
    They never carry home

    Well, I'm sorry for the things I had to say...
    And I'm sorry i pushed your hand away from the radio...
    I pushed your hand away from the radio...
    I should have just let it go...
