Every time I drive away
The sunset fades to yesterday
Now this cycling thunderstorm
Arrives with rain like chloroform
These storms deliver fractured sleep
For scattered secrets I'd never keep
The sun, the moon, the stars for you
Drifting off and out of view
But tonight, I don't need nothing
In the morning, I'll be gone
Imperfect places for imperfect lives
But now it won't be long
Oh now it won't be long
Retracing steps beneath the moon
The stars would lead me back to you
But fogged obstructions still remain
The midnight clouds conceal the rain
These winding roads and interstates
Cause complex hearts to grow irate
They're overworked and built to flood
In slumber with what can't be won
But tonight, I don't need nothing
In the morning, I'll be gone
Imperfect places for imperfect lives
But now it won't be long
Oh now it won't be long
Anything but nothing
Something out of our control
Watch the screen as it fades to black
While the credits slowly roll
With the story we've been sold
Always left out in the cold
But tonight, I don't need nothing
In the morning, I'll be gone
Imperfect places for imperfect lives
But now it won't be long
Oh now it won't be long
Oh now it won't be long
My love, it won't be long
