Tail Lights

[Verse 1]
The red lights stare into your eyes
They burn like Ohio fireflies
We were younger on the summer nights
But I was born to lose
For a couple of bucks into the tank
We drove until the moon had sank
A dead end life on a dead end road
I had everything to prove
(I had everything to prove)

[Chorus]
The tail lights drew closer as I followed you home
A conversation took a turn and left me all alone
Poured all my heart and spilled my blood
I screamed until it hurt
I noticed that when I saw your eyes
There was nothing left to burn

[Verse 2]
The lonesome highway became my home
I burned up all these Ohio roads
The summer miles became winter nights
As I memorized I75
On the dead end road that took me back
To that end of summer heart attack
I parked the car and crossed the tracks
And I searched for those dying eyes
(Dying eyes)

[Chorus]
The tail lights drew closer as I followed you home
A conversation took a turn and left me all alone
Poured all my heart and spilled my blood
I screamed until it hurt
I noticed that when I saw your eyes
There was nothing left to burn
