Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Keep both eyes on the road tonight
‘Cause I’m driving home to you
A terrible song on the radio
Baby, what else is new?
[Verse 2]
You don’t wanna talk, you don’t wanna touch
You don’t even wanna watch TV
You say I can’t see the forest for the trees
So burn it all down, and bring the ashes to me
[Verse 3]
Keep both eyes on the road tonight
’Cause God knows where I’ve been
Officer, please, don’t check my breath
That ain’t my only sin
[Verse 4]
You don’t wanna talk, you don’t wanna touch
You don’t even wanna watch TV
If you can’t see the forest for the trees
Just burn it all down, and bring the ashes to me
[Verse 5]
Keep you waiting hour after hour
Every night in your lonely tower
Looking down at all the wreckage
When we met you’d never expect this
And you say, maybe we don’t deserve love
Maybe we don’t deserve love
Maybe we don’t deserve love
We don’t deserve, we don’t deserve love
Maybe we don’t deserve love
[Verse 6]
Keep both eyes on the road tonight
‘Cause I’m driving home to you
A terrible song on the radio
Baby, what else is new?
[Verse 7]
Been hiding my scars in broad daylight bars
Behind laugh tracks on TV
If you can’t see the forest for the trees
Just burn it all down, and bring the ashes to me
[Verse 8]
Keep you waiting hour after hour
Every night in your lonely tower
Looking down at all the wreckage
When we met you’d never expect this
And you say, maybe we don’t deserve love
[Verse 9]
Keep you waiting hour after hour
Every night in your lonely tower
Looking down at all the wreckage
When we met you’d never expect this
And you say, maybe we don’t deserve love
[Verse 10]
Maybe we don’t deserve love
Maybe we don’t deserve love
We don’t deserve, we don’t deserve love
[Verse 11]
Mary, roll away the stone
The men that you love always leave you alone
Well, go on, Mary, roll away the stone
The men you love always leave you alone
[Verse 12]
Hear your mother screaming, hear your daddy shout
You try to figure it out, you never figure it out
Your mother’s screaming that you don’t deserve love
If you don’t deserve love, and if I don’t deserve love
Could we deserve?
[Verse 13]
Come down off your cross and tell me
It’s always the Christ-types
[Verse 14]
Mary, roll away the stone
The one that you love is gonna leave you alone
Particularly the Christ-types
Mary, roll away the stone
[Verse 15]
The ones that you love always leave you alone
It’s always the Christ-types you’re waiting on
