[Lyrics for Driving East – Blue Eyes]
Did your heart stop beating, when you heard the news,
Of her lies and infidelities in our back room
Our house is something sacred that I burned to the ground
You could see my sins for miles and miles around
You cried more tears, before you turned twenty-four
Why can’t we start over
I can’t say I’d dump her
You cried more tears, before you turned twenty-four
Why can’t we start over
Why can’t we start over
Say
I had no intention,
Of living my life this,
Way
Too many games to play,
By casting my curses the same
It started out as a secret,
That you’d never know
I was sleeping around,
You were sleeping alone
If to make matters worse,
You never heard it from me
You had to hear it from a friend
You had to hear if from a friend
You cried more tears, before you turned twenty-four
Why can’t we start over
I can’t say I’d dump her
You cried more tears, before you turned twenty-four
Why can’t we start over
Why can’t we start over
Say
I had no intention,
Of living my life this,
Way
Too many games to play,
By casting my curses the same
I promised to give you eternity
But you fell before they were selfish and insecure
now I need you more
I wish you all the happiness that I could never give you
Goddamn these bright blue eyes,
It’s a perfect disguise,
And you’re hanging on every word,
I say, what you want to hear,
Before I disappear
I’m hanging from every word [x2]
