i don't wanna wipe this slate clean
you could be the one for me
i don't wanna wipe this slate clean
you're the only one for me

now her basement's all a-flooded
and my shoes are full of holes
kansas city's in the distance
it's in my bones
and in my lungs to sit
hollow and alone
like a circus full of silence

the interstate as of late
seems to laugh at me and say
you'll never hit your mark
you'll never reignite the spark that burned inside her

i arrived
the sun was setting
and our shadows underfoot
merged effortless together
then i awoke
to the sunlight streaming in from oklahoma
i just wanna be beside her

maybe it takes some time
for wounds to heal
tears to dry
can't time move faster
we all say this is life
move on
keep on getting by
but i just want her tonight

in this beat up old toyota
i can feel the miles pass
towns and cities
states and time zones
the broken glass
in ditches
parking lots
discarded and forgotten
i don't want our love to end like that

the interstate as of late
seems to laugh at me and say
you'll never hit your mark
you'll never reignite the spark that burned inside her

maybe it takes some time
for wounds to heal
tears to dry
can't time move faster
we all say this is life
move on
keep on getting by
but i just want her tonight

we're so close

the interstate as of late
seems to laugh at me and say
you'll never hit your mark
you'll never reignite the spark
maybe it takes some time
for wounds to heal
tears to dry
i want her tonight
i just wanna be there
