You took the tunnel route home,
you've never taken that way with me before.
Did you feel the need for change?
Apologies on your fingernails,
love flickered in the city of lights,
Like good singers on radio waves
I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I just gotta get home.
And I feel like I'm breaking up,
and I wanted to stay,
Headlights on the hillside,
don't take me this way,
I don't want you to hold me,
I don't want you to pray,
This is bigger than us
You went where the horses cry,
you've never taken that way with me before.
Did you feel the need for change?
Guilt smeared across your lips,
I was tired and cold from the window
You're cold, nothing has changed.
I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I just gotta get home.
And I feel like I'm breaking up,
and I wanted to stay,
Headlights on the hillside,
don't take me this way,
I don't want you to hold me,
I don't want you to pray,
This is bigger than us
you've never taken that way with me before.
Did you feel the need for change?
Apologies on your fingernails,
love flickered in the city of lights,
Like good singers on radio waves
I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I just gotta get home.
And I feel like I'm breaking up,
and I wanted to stay,
Headlights on the hillside,
don't take me this way,
I don't want you to hold me,
I don't want you to pray,
This is bigger than us
You went where the horses cry,
you've never taken that way with me before.
Did you feel the need for change?
Guilt smeared across your lips,
I was tired and cold from the window
You're cold, nothing has changed.
I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I just gotta get home.
And I feel like I'm breaking up,
and I wanted to stay,
Headlights on the hillside,
don't take me this way,
I don't want you to hold me,
I don't want you to pray,
This is bigger than us

After the red ants, the black-out, come peace and quiet Those little footprints fleshed out calm in my mind I lay like a compass, digits accusing the sunrise Raindrops abseil the window and flinch through the hurt cries
I feel this great pressure coming down on me And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy I feel this great pressure coming down on me (when my nerve's on the high wire) My bliss pulling at your sympathy
After the hunt and the sweat, now come peace and quiet Your head on my heart anchored the storm in my eyes I lay like a carcass, your lips never letting the blood dry And so I pray for tomorrow and wait, listening out for a reply
I feel this great pressure coming down on me And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy I feel this great pressure coming down on me (when my nerve's on the high wire) My bliss pulling at your sympathy
I feel this great pressure coming down on me And the tide of my bliss pulling at your sympathy I feel this great pressure coming down on me (when my nerve's on the high wire) My bliss pulling at your sympathy
I think Suzie might have the right idea lyrically or the song could be about someone who's in a love/hate type romantic relationship where every fight they have after they make up it's all blissful and perfect but they know there's another storm or fight coming up so they await the next breakdown. They're fights are angry like red ants and the blackout is when he drinks so much he blacksout cause the fight is so tumultuous. The peace & quite is like the calm once they make up while also symbolizing the calm before the next storm or fight.
