Dogvane

A song to my Son.

About driving through a strange night, to a strange girl.

It's a cold burn Life forged in a dream All these things I should've said then Slamming inside of me Never mind Displaced on the roadside And my engine's jammed See the corners on the map fade You never know where you'll land I wanna shove against your apathy Shove back the things shoving me I wanna have the night at my fingertips Wanna see the ground split beneath my feet And I used to drive her crazy I used to be someone Now I can't get out of the moment I was raddled when I woke Her power surfaced when she walked Her lips shook when she spoke What do you take from she who offers anything She says anything is everything Everything for free And I used to drive her crazy I used to be someone Now I can't get out of the moment Talk the movie talk all night I'll remember your favorite line You can go my way Babe if you want to And I used to drive her crazy I used to be the one Now I can't get out of the moment

Under the moon Just above your window As you rode the crest of your dreams You had a passenger all the way Sometimes I feel like I'm hiding in plain sight Sometimes I feel safe inside a nutshell Sometimes I don't Where my anger never renews Where no one says we were meant to live for so much more Iron Bloom Roses reflecting in the sun I've been looking at the past through shaggy blonde hair and blue eyes I've been looking at my life like a sleazy billboard on the roadside Waking up with me is easy The alarm clocks are hell You still hold a place in all my songs And every story I tell I need my head on right I, inside the iron bloom Where my anger never renews Where no one says we were meant to live for so much more Iron Bloom Roses reflecting in the sun
