Lately I've been thinking
About that night and
What happened to you
I was older than you and I
Shoulda known better
The full moon
Was like drunken-eye blinking
The forest came out of nowhere
Like a fist out from grandpa's farmland
We thought it would be pretty funny
To drive all night out to California
But we never made it past the river
And now you're gonna be
Out there forever
I'm looking at you,
Looking at me in the mirror
I don't think I'm ready
For your forgiveness
Ooh
I know you don't want to talk about it
You had to learn how to walk again
And I bolted
I wish I could drive you now on highway one along the sea
Yeah you should have been
In California with me
But we never made it past the river
And now you're gonna be
Out there forever
I'm looking at you,
Looking at me in the mirror
I don't think I'm ready
For your forgiveness
Ooh
You seem happy where you are
I'm not sure I can say the same
I keep seeing the trees
Coming through the windshield
We were so young you said
There's no one to blame
But we never made it past the river
And now you're gonna be
Out there forever
I'm looking at you,
Looking at me in the mirror
And I don't think I'm ready
For your forgiveness
Far away from home
Far away and all alone
