Get There

She calls me from the car
idling in the rain
and tells me it’s too hard
to handle all the pain
the pain of wanting more
and me wanting the same
I throw on my shoes
I run outside
and she’s gone

all the things going through my head
all the things that I left unsaid
I’m soaking wet now but I don’t care
where we’ll end up I don’t know where
but we could

Get there
‘cuz with you I’m not scared
just tell me that this thing is not dead
girl I’m ready for the road ahead
I know we could get there

I call her from my car
racing in the rain
having conversations with
with her answering machine
if I’d paid more attention I’d know
all the places she might go
but I’m blindly swinging in the wind
‘cuz of how blind I have been

all the things going through my head
all the signs that I should have read
I’m going down now but you don’t care
I know I deserve this and it’s only fair
but we could

get there
(don’t give up on me)
‘cuz with you I’m not scared
(baby took so long for me to see)
oh but tell me that this thing is not dead
girl I’m ready for the road ahead
I know we could get there (I promise we’ll get there)

I’m sorry that it took so long
I don’t know why I didn’t catch on
oh girl I wasn’t listening to you
when you told me that we needed to talk
told you later and I brushed you off
oh girl (I wish I could undo) all the bridges I burned
and I lived and I learned
you’re the one thing I had that was true
and I know what I had
only now that you’re gone
I’m a shell of a man without you
but we could (but with you I’ll get there)

get there
(I’ll get there
took me so long to see)
‘cuz with you I’m not scared (I’m not scared)
just tell me that this thing is not dead
I’m ready for the road ahead
I know we could get there (with you I’ll get there)
(I know we could get there you and me)

but we could get there (I’ll get there)
‘cuz with you I’m not scared (tell me)
tell me that this thing is not dead
girl I’m ready for the road ahead
I know we could get there
(tell me that you wanna make this work)
(tell me that I can change the way you’re hurt)
(I just wanna be with you)
