lyrics

Ghosts were closing in I was feeling uptight
I picked up the phone on a Friday night
Had to get away so I dialed your number
You were feeling the same way
How's about you pack a bag we'll load up your car
Bring those High style boots that I bought you
To wear at the bars
The black strapless dress I remember so well
Tell everyone they can go to hell
I'll bring the vodka and the Valium
Let's head on up to a mountain town
Yeah I'll bring the vodka and Valium
We'll head on up to a mountain town

I've been bleeding slow from a wound it's been hard to heal
You were the friend who said Il'l make you a deal
I'll buy the gas if you'll rent the room
If we never come back, that would be too soon
Come on my friend let's head on up to a mountain town
Come on my friend will head on up to a mountain town

Hide away our fears behind beautiful lies
Let the past just be erased
You were so right when you said I was selfish,
Lacking so much grace

When I dream, I dream in numbers,
Zeros and nothing at all
I want to figure out your puzzles and
Climb behind your walls
Fade Into the night with you up past the moon and stars
Listen to a sad song playing on a cheap guitar

I bite upon the hand that feeds
Watch it bleed out cold and slow....
Let's forget about things, forget about things
We think we should know

Yeah we can leave our troubles far behind
We can ride into that Sunset light
Watch your shadows fade watch him fade away
Beneath the night of a mountain sky
I believe it's been coming so long
It's a fine line between right and wrong
All I want to do, is lay down next to you and
Spend some time, beneath the mountain sky
