Driving through the long night
Tryin' to figure who's right and who's wrong
Now, the kid has gone
I sit belted up tight
She sucks on a match light
Glowing bronze, steering on
And I might be more of a man
If I stopped this in its tracks and said
"Come on, let's go home"
But she has got the wheel
And I've got nothing
Except what I have on
When you're driving with the brakes on
When you're swimming with your boots on
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't
Tryin' to keep the mood right
Tryin' to steer the conversation from
The thing we've done
She shuts up the ashtray
And I say "it's a long way back now, hon"
And she just yawns
And we might get lost someplace
So desolate that no one where we're from
Would ever come
But she has got the wheel
And I've got to deal
From now on
When you're driving with the brakes on
When you're swimming with your boots on
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't
But unless the moon falls tonight
Unless continents collide
Nothing's gonna make me
Break from her side
'Cause when you're driving with the brakes on
When you're swimming with your boots on
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't
