Matchbox Twenty - Rest Stop
from the album "Mad Season"
Just thre miles from the rest stop
And she slams on the breaks
Said I tried to be but I'm not
And could you please collect your things
I don't wanna be cold
I don't wanna be cruel
But I gotta find more that what's happening with you
If you'd open up the door
She said while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn't care
So I thought hell if it's over
I had bettere end it quick or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening
Can you hear me
Have you forgotten
Just three miles from the rest stop
And my mouth's too dry to rage
The light was shining from the radio
I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumpled up promise of this broken down man
And as I opened up the door
