DESCRIPTION:
From their album "Apparitions"

Lyrics:
You pulled up, as if in a rush
And said, "I'll give you a ride. I saw you miss the bus."
I said, "Thanks, I'm looking to kill some time."

"I'll take you to your house, or we could see mine
It's not very far and you'll like it just fine
You could leave this world behind."

So I stayed an hour
A day, and then two

Maybe you'll teach me
The things that you know
But it's getting cold
I think we should go

When the house was all boarded up
We said goodbye, and we climbed in your red pick-up truck
And we drove off into the night

And I counted all the street lights
And you turned to me with a sigh, and said
"I'm willing to give it a try."

We could be happy all over again
Find a place to begin

And it's three months, and we're still not there
And I've gotten thinner, and you've grown your hair
We're looking for home, but I don't think it's here

And if it's September, my birthday is near
And you say there's nothing that I have to fear
"We'll get it somehow. I just don't have it right now."

Locked up the room, and returned the key.
And the manager waved to us uneasily
And we drove off into the night

And I counted all the street lights
As you turned to me with a sigh
"I'm still willing to give us a try."

We could be happy in outer space
Where all of our demons will soon be erased.
In a small quiet town, we'll start over again
Find a place to begin

But this road just goes on and on
I said, "I'm sorry. I'll miss you, but I've stayed too long.
It's time for me to go home."

So, you drop me off at the light
And I walk off into the night
Find a quarter, and pick up the phone
