Lyrics

Love Like Glass
I can't get far enough away from LA
on 85 dinero today
I'm burning through the desert
and more than a few sad bars along my way
Now I'm on empty again but I keep dancing my ol' truck
across the sands to the sounds of rust
One more sunrise, a girl, some good pictures left behind
and not much in the rear view but dust
seems like... nothin' but dust...
[Instrumental]
I have no directions maybe I...
maybe I should stop n' ask
cause I know the roads that lead away from you
twist and turn and shatter love like glass
Guess I'll go left at 25 off Highway 10
and head up north to Santa Fe
I've never been there but it sounds a perfect place
for chasing dreams I can betray
I'll earn each day along this twisted route
serving drinks and telling lies like they were my own wild stories
'til my history catches me again
running from my friends and fumblin' for my keys

I have no directions maybe I...
maybe I should stop n' ask
cause I know the roads that lead away from you
twist and turn and shatter love like glass
yeah they shatter... love like glass
[Instrumental then transition into quiet Bridge]
when I stop driving shed a tear and feel the pain
then I might earn the chance to see you once again
and one day I'll die knowing
at least I made it back to sane
back to sane...
[Instrumental into fade out]
I can't get very far away from Santa Fe... these days...
I have no direction... so baby I will stop and ask...
And I'll take the roads back to you that won't break love like glass
Now I know the roads back to you won't break love like glass
So I'll take the roads back to you that don't break love like glass
