It's not easy to be this lonely
It's hard enough to take you at your word
When you're fading into memory
And looking back at only things that were
It came slowly like eternity but just as sure

Well, baby, you and me we're going driving
Down the road away from it all
We were betting on the odds we'd be arriving
At the alter of forever standing tall

Now we're waiting in the valley
By a mountain we're not sure we want to climb
Viewing endings and beginnings
With a feeling that it's all a loss of time
It's like searching for a melody
The reason and rhyme

I never knew it was bothering you
But I was never good at following through
With me and you
