You and I in the parking lot, underneath the sodium glow
Lights are out past lash out, we need somewhere to knock about
Nobody wants to go home
Been here for my whole life, doing the best I can
But we'll part ways in the morning, a word of caution and a warning
I hope you'll understand
Our time is ticking up; I can't hear you you're breaking up
Down the same avenue, across the one-way and through
Drawn white lines in the same place, a homing pattern I'll follow
Draw a straight line—trail tracker follows you behind
Concrete apartment block, fades into the rearview mirror
Nothing left to hold onto to, lines erased and redrawn through
Said goodbye for so long
Just before the border line, waiting for the eastern life
Guards change shift, I'm ready, papers forged, I'm steady
Smile, nod, and go on
Our time is ticking up; I can't hear you you're breaking up
Down the same avenue, across the one-way and through
Drawn white lines in the same place, a homing pattern I'll follow
Draw a straight line—trail tracker follows you behind
And even though I care, you know I wouldn't give it up for nothing
You draw a straight line—trail tracker follows you behind
And even though I care, you know I wouldn't give it up for nothing
You draw a straight line—trail tracker follows you behind
