Tail Lights - Hawthorne Heights

The red lights stare into your eyes

They burn like Ohio fireflies

We were younger on the summer nights

But I was born to lose

For a couple of bucks into the tank

We drove until the moon had sank

A dead end life on a dead end road

I had everything to prove

(I had everything to prove)

The tail lights grew closer as I followed you home

A conversation took a turn and left me all alone

Poured all my heart and spilled my blood

I screamed until it hurt

I noticed that when I saw your eyes

There was nothing left to burn

The lonesome highway became my home

I burned up all these Ohio roads

The summer miles became winter nights

As I memorized I75

On the dead end road that took me back

To that end of summer heart attack

I parked the car and crossed the tracks

And I searched for those dying eyes

(Those dying eyes)

The tail lights drew closer as I followed you home

A conversation took a turn and left me all alone

Poured all my heart and spilled my blood

I screamed until it hurt

I noticed that when I saw your eyes

There was nothing left to burn

My memories are shaky, shaky at best

The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder

My memories are shaky, shaky at best

The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder

The tail lights grew closer as I followed you home

(Woah)

The tail lights grew closer as I followed you home

The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder

Poured all my heart and spilled my blood

I screamed until it hurt

The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder

The tail lights grew closer as I followed you home

The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder

Poured all my heart and spilled my blood

I screamed until it hurt

The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder
