Broken yolk in western sky My stomach turned, my mouth went dry And I knew I'd never know fear before I pressed my palms into the seat And with one last look at you next to me I kicked open the sliding door And I threw myself out on the road Torn flesh and broken bones And in the shoulder's patchy grass I faded into your past ♪ I know it was a cowardly thing to do And that an explanation is not an excuse I just need you to understand My love is like some kind of greed Of equal portions 'want' and 'need' And I cannot divorce the two I could not sleep at all With all the rumble strip close calls And in the gravel and scattered trash I faded into your past When you think twice you arrive at the same conclusion And it's bad advice only if you use it ♪ And then you disappeared from view And you became somebody new Near the exit's overpass I faded into your past
