I fight the pull of the wheel
Get out of the lane
Push the pedal down, look the other way
Past my old life at that exit sign
Take a deep breath, steady my hands
Shake your goodbye off again
Drive miles just to get around
Your side of town
I don’t go, I don’t go
I don’t dare cross that dangerous divide
I don’t go, I don’t go
Broken promises and heartbreak reside
On your side of town
There’s a kiss me now at a redlight
There’s a hold me close all night
A dance in the dark at that smokey bar
There’s a happy couple haunting every street
Ghosts of us only I can see
Thousand memories shattered on the ground
On your side of town
I don’t go, I don’t go
I don’t dare cross that dangerous divide
I don’t go, I don’t go
Broken promises and heartbreak reside
On your side of town
Isn’t it a shame, isn’t a pity
I had to draw a line through the middle of the city
I don’t go, I don’t go
I don’t dare cross that dangerous divide
I don’t go, I don’t go
Broken promises and heartbreak reside
On your side of town
