Headlights

The silhouettes of our bodies glow
From your headlights
And we shiver soft from the cold hard rain
To drown our pain
We’ll light our way
With a mutual hate
Driven by the wind
And pretend that we love
Our breakfast tomorrow
Won’t you leave me, love
To the birds I know
Come for the kill
And you say
You want love
But you won’t survive
And I say
I want love
But I closed my eyes
And we lay
In the light
'Cause we left our lives behind
Lets leave town
And run for the hills
Where no one knows our name
And we’ll get new jobs
And work for our kids
That we’ll never have
Our neighbours will come
And party till dawn
But the sun never comes
So we’ll leave me here
With my misery
There’s nothing here to gain, no, my love
And you say
That you want love
But you won’t survive
And I say
I want love
But I close my eyes
And we lay
In the light
Cause we left our lives behind
