Headlights - Wakes

The silhouettes of our bodies glow

From your headlights

And we shiver soft from the cold hard rain

To drown our pain

We’ll light our way

With a mutual hate

Driven by the wind

And pretend that we love

Our breakfast tomorrow

Won’t you leave me, love

To the birds I know

Come for the kill

And you say

You want love

But you won’t survive

And I say

I want love

But I closed my eyes

And we lay

In the light

'Cause we left our lives behind

Lets leave town

And run for the hills

Where no one knows our name

And we’ll get new jobs

And work for our kids

That we’ll never have

Our neighbours will come

And party till dawn

But the sun never comes

So we’ll leave me here

With my misery

There’s nothing here to gain, no, my love

And you say

That you want love

But you won’t survive

And I say

I want love

But I close my eyes

And we lay

In the light

Cause we left our lives behind
