If...Ever

spark, pop, jumping the gun

a lover's wings melt in the sun

cruise control set at 55

for an early out and a chance to feel alive

windshield shatters, my heart skips a beat

i feel it all; i feel your breath's heat

we wanted out but we never got away

we never settled but it all ended the same

sleepless nights while i waited for dawn

a midnight rain is what i wanted all along

these days all blister, scorching my skin

but i need your touch, the feeling's sinking in

if i were to, if i were to ever, ever

i can't believe right now is enough

i feel the weight of the world

i feel the crushing of your love, right now,

i can't believe right now could ever be enough

i can't believe it could ever be enough

the desert landscape's a hot paved blur

a hundred miles to the nearest self-serve

the wind is harsh and the mileage a bitch

but i've got you along to calm my itch

i get the slightest nod as a stranger walks by

i know i feel something and i wonder why

we're painted into the corner of a room

with faces of people we never knew
