when both our cars collide

i woke up in a place that wasn't my home and looked my death in the eye of a needle. pick a card and accept your fate as a smudge on the red asphalt. she was my home, it's true, and now i killed her. if i could go back, focus the sun and melt the ice i slipped on, if i could turn down the music a little lower and lie to the cops, if i could just stay when i should have gone or went when i should have stayed, she'd be alive. 2006 is the only year that mattered, frozen in time on a cold summer morning in the rain of the city. drop the charge and i'll be electric, eclectic looks great on me. i never caught your name when it flew out of my windshield. it's white as snow tonight, so why not lay down and surrender to life?
