flyover states

I was driving through the flyover states

when I made my biggest mistake

in feeling I maybe could trust you

walking down a lonely avenue

you know me, I'm shy and scared

and always somewhat unprepared

all through it, I was so aware

of you

I was driving through the flyover states

I took the time to appreciate

all that life had laid before me

usually life tries to ignore me

you know me, I've been waiting so long

trying to weigh the right from wrong

I always end up where I belong

with you

          now there's no denying

          whatever I do

          I'm going to keep on trying

          though something inside me is dying

          and I don't know what it is

I was driving through the crossover states

thinking I have what it takes

to make it through this world of woe

you have told me where to go

you know me, I'm hurting inside

regretting all the times I've tried

to find the love that I can't hide

from you
