They had a fight driving home It was four fists short of violence So he dropped to his knees in the yard To spend the rest of the night in silence He went inside and he waited by the kettle for the tears to start She went back out and she stepped on the pedal like it was his heart Her eyes are all frayed, his are dark and played And there's nothing left underneath They're at ambition zero hour since he kicked himself in the teeth Driving like a criminal and crying on the wheel Dying just to rid yourself of everything you feel Think you're lonely now, just wait until tonight It's a trick just to learn how to keep him out of your life Keep him out of your life Keep him out of your life Disconnected friends all over town They're disconnected in time She came back 'cause people rarely do The thing that's best for him A downward spiral of undesirable habits Soon she caught him in a lie again So she started it up and stepped down on the pedal like it was his heart As he waited inside for the kettle to boil, it was as black as his heart Stepped on the peddle like it was his heart Stepped on the peddle like it was his heart She stepped on the peddle like it was his heart Stepped on the peddle like it was his heart Stepped on the peddle like it was his heart She stepped on the peddle like it was his heart Like it was his heart Like it was his heart Like it was his heart
