Thank God I`m back in my car
And driving home
And driving home
`Cause the air was thin and so cold
Back in there
It was my first time
Won`t be my last time
And the questions rise
Expectations fall
In light of it all
There aren`t words to say
Words aren`t remembered
But presence is
A good friend once told me
And he was there
He was there
But she wasn`t there
It`s not fair
It`s not fair
(Chorus)
What crimes have you committed
Demanding such a penance
That couldn`t wait for five more minutes
And a cry for help
`Cause this room is so peaceful
And this room is so quiet
And I hate the silence
And I can`t walk the center aisle
I`ve been here for over three hours
Behind the flowers
So beautiful and young
And so alive
And so in need of someone
Someone to talk to them
`Cause theirs are fragile lives
(repeat chorus)
And I think about my brother
And how I just stood there
With my hands in my pockets
And my heart in my throat
Thank God I`m back in my car
And driving home
And driving home
But in that place I leave
All my days of taking life for granted
And the words I wrote for her
And my best friend crying
And a young girl lying
On all our hearts
(repeat chorus)
