A Kind Of Compromise
05:13Lyrics
So you spent your summer
Down near Mexico
Wishing that the rain would come
And wipe your conscience clean
Then you drove your memories
Down that long deserted road
If you didn’t see a soul
You would not think of him
But at night he called you in your dreams
And he was everything he seemed
’Til the morning came
There were times in Canada
He’d watch you while you drove
Like he could feel your heart
In the rhythm of the road
But for all his prophecy
There was so much he didn’t know
Like how to heal the pain
That was such a heavy load
Couldn’t help but carry it around
It was the only solid ground
That he ever had
And now I watch you
And you push each love away
Would it be so bad if someone
Stayed and loved you back?
And when his anger came
You thought that it would fade
That you could leave it
By the highway lines and go
But his demons followed you
‘Cross county lines and years
You can’t escape the fears
That live inside your heart
And you knew your love it wasn’t wise
It was a kind of compromise
Between your heart and your head
And still I watch you
And you push each love away
Would it be so bad if someone
Stayed and loved you back?
So you spent your summer
Down near Mexico
Wishing that the rain would come
And wipe your conscience clean
