Story Behind The Song
I wanted to write a song about the very specific point in a dying relationship at which the push to breakup and the pull to stay together are still perfectly teetering at their tipping point.

Lyrics
Got caught the other day
Trying to change my master plan
Trying to change my destiny
Trying to stop your crying
Crying
Something in the way you said
"Could you be my destiny?
Can't it be just like today?
Why can't you stay till the end?"
Stop crying
I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me
but the little tears
running down your face
I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me
but the little tears
Running down your face
The little tears running down your face
Woke up the other day
Didn't feel like getting up
Kinda thought I'd hear you say
"Sleepy Head let's go to work"
Keep trying
Can you call in sick today?
I just need you for another hour
If this is our season's change
Then give me all of you now
Stop crying
I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me but the little tears running down your face
I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me but the little tears running down your face
The little tears running down your face
Is it all a loser's game?
Why can't we both grow up?
If we never came this way
Never drank this destiny cup
Who's crying?
Wish it went some other way
Wish we made the whole thing up
You whisper in my ear
"Just give me all of you now
And stop crying"
I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me but the little tears running down your face
I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me but the little tears running down your face
I can be as strong as I want to
My back can't bear to break
Blazing my engines
Nothing can stop me but the little tears running down your face
