about

Driving to Virginia - this song is about being vulnerable.

lyrics

I'm reading my sorrows.
I'm washing it down.
I'm driving to Virginia
So you can have me around.

Can you step out of that doorway?
Can you settle down with me?
Can you laugh with me forever?
Can you let me die in peace?

I'm lying to myself.
It doesn't feel very good.
That makes it twice this time, you know.
You always said you never would.

Can I step into that kitchen?
Can i hug you one more time?
I'm not looking for an answer [sung incorrectly]
I'm just looking for your eyes
Before I go.
Before I go.

I'm laying down my arms,
You're closing the door.
I'm burying the hatchet
But you don't want me any more.

I hope that you're doing ok,
I'm hope that you're better than me.
I hope that you don't miss my face.
I pray that you're only happy

No one wants to be forgotten
No one wants to be replaced.
But still I hope that you have moved on,
I hope that you forget my name.

Can we step out of my car?
Can we dance in the moonlight?
Can I throw away my fears?
Can we never say goodbye?

Will you smile at my answers?
Will it roll right off your cheek?
Will you kiss me through the window?
Will you whisper when you speak?

I don't think that I'll be happy.
I don't think that you'll mind.
'Cause you have other friends to love
And I have other songs to write.

So please tell me when it's over,
Say I haven't got a clue
Say it's just too messed up this time,
Say it isn't me, it's you.

I am sorry, oh I'm sorry.
I don't know what I could have done.
But you are smiling in the moonlight
And I am coming undone.
