Iron Effigy - Open Road

There's miles of open road out here
Does wonders for the mind, I hear
But the only thing I mind is losing you
Been searching for something to chase
But all I've found is just your face
And now it's time for me to face I'm losing you

I drove across the country
And I wish that you'd been with me
Tried not to think about you
But all I really wanted was to
Turn to my side
And see your face

The only thing I know to do
To keep myself from missing you
Is make myself remember
I have other problems too
And maybe if I tried some more
You'd see just what I'm fighting for
But chances are you'd leave again
And leave me broken on the floor

Take a left, you'd say to me
We're headed to Yosemite
The valley in California where you'll find God
Let's go to Crater Lake, my dear
There's still a lot of snow up here
When I found you in the desert you were lost

The only thing I know to do
to keep myself from missing you
Is make myself remember
I have other problems too
And maybe if I tried some more
You'd see just what I'm fighting for
But chances are you'd leave again
And leave me broken on the floor

My foolishness is manifest
In everything that I've confessed
And I just need to get some open air
My foolishness is manifest
In everything that I've confessed
But honestly I'm too fucked up to care

I wish you'd stay out of my dreams
I wish you'd stay out of my dreams

I just wanna hear about your day
Watch a movie on the couch
But we both know that we won't watch
I've tried to get you out my brain
But your anchor keeps pulling me down
And holding on is all that I've been taught

The only thing I know to do
To keep myself from missing you
Is make myself remember
I have other problems too

And maybe if I tried some more
You'd see just what I'm fighting for
But chances are you'd leave again
And leave me broken on the floor

My foolishness is manifest
In everything that I've confessed
And I just need to get some open air
My foolishness is manifest
In everything that I've confessed
And honestly I'm too fucked up to care

There's miles of open road out here
Does wonders for the mind I hear
But the only thing I mind is losing you
Been searching for something to chase
But all I've found is just your face
And now it's time for me to face that I am losing you

There's miles of open road out here
There's miles of open road out here
