If You Lived Here, You'd be Home Now

Towards the limit of maps
 The roads surrender to empty spaces
 The roofline seems to collapse into the evening
 I was asleep on the passenger's side
 White as a ghost against a floodlit billboard
 Day casts different light upon those promises
 But you know it's true
 If you lived here, you'd be home now
 And yet don't forget
 If you lived here, you'd be home now
 Even the stereo sounds tired
 Here where the power poles look more like robot skeletons
 Slack-wired against the evening
 Let's just drive until we've found somewhere
 There are more headstones in the cemetery
 Than houses in the town
 And never leave
 'Cause you know it's true
 If you lived here, you'd be home now
 And yet don't forget
 If you lived here, you'd be home now
 Tonight the cul-de-sacs are quiet
 The driveways don't lead anywhere
 There's no-one else awake
 We could trust our deepest secrets
 To the artificial lake
 We're in no hurry anyway
 We both could use the break
