First Aid Kit - Wild Horses II

"Where are we going?"
Something you asked me
While time was flowing like a river
And we, we had it coming
We saw the sunsets
We saw the night turn
It was a safe bet

How can a lifetime fit in an hour?
The sky, it opened up, then came the showers
And we stopped at some motel with paper-thin walls
And floral linens and a bible in the drawer

We played Wild Horses on the car stereo
You prefer the Rolling Stones' and I like Gram's

We passed a canyon
We passed a fire brigade headed up the mountains
They said "The wood's ablazin'" and then we got hungry
Stopped at a diner
You flirted with the waitress and I didn't even care

Where do you go to when you look past me?
Do you see yourself miserable and free?
Such a strange notion, to see you clearly
When love's shadow stood up and left the room

We played Wild Horses on the car stereo
You prefer the Rolling Stones' and I like Gram's

"I hate who we've become" spoken like an absolute
Just listened to you speak, there was nothing to dispute
I guess something shifted, I guess something died
Thought I couldn't change it, so I didn't even try

We played Wild Horses on the car stereo
You prefer the Rolling Stones' and I like Gram's
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
You prefer the Rolling Stones', but I like Gram's
