Текст песни
Driving east, the sun’s still down
Passed your exit, didn’t turn around
‘Cause I know what waits behind that door
A conversation we’ve had before
Empty fridge, a couch that swallows hope
I’m better off with this open road rope
Answering machine – I know the beep
It’s the sound of promises I couldn’t keep
You say «call me when you’re not a ghost»
But I’m always a ghost, even when I’m close
Last message you left was three months old
Said «the weather’s changing, I’m doing bold»
I never called back, what was I to say?
«I’m still the same wreck, just a different day»
So I drive and I drive, let the engine talk
Past the water towers and the empty walk
Answering machine – I know the beep
It’s the sound of promises I couldn’t keep
You say «call me when you’re not a ghost»
But I’m always a ghost, even when I’m close
«Hey… it’s me. Just called to say… I saw a car like yours today.
On the coast highway. I waved, but it passed.
Anyway… you know my number. When you’re ready to stop driving…»
Answering machine…
