Lyrics
It’s all your fault
We aren’t married or at all
A thing to be
It wasn’t me
You never asked
I know our youth was young but still
It’s now our past
And you’re not here
You were driving down the Highway 1
You got weed in your pocket, your head’s in the sun
You know that highway’s right up on the edge
Just like our relationship that we drove right off the ledge
Living on a fault line
Where nothing feels solid
And you can’t tell time
I’ve been living on a fault line
I’ve got a foot in the boat
And now I’m towing the line
Why can’t you be mine
(Why can’t you be mine)
When I got mad
I’d walk out that chain door you had
And up the hill
And it made me feel
Like an astronaut, the gravity
Untied the knots from you and me
’Til I was free
You were driving down the Highway 1
Oh you got weed in your pocket, your head’s in the sun
You know that highway’s right up on the edge
Just like our relationship that we drove right off the ledge
Living on a fault line
Where nothing feels solid
And you can’t tell time
I’ve been living on a fault line
I’ve got a foot in the boat
And now I’m towing your line
Why can’t you be mine
You can’t go back
A lesson learned with no respect
For all the tears
Over the years
We shed in private rooms
No camera to zoom
In on our humanness
I was driving down the Highway 1
I got weed in my pocket, my head’s in the sun
You know that I had to leave you all behind
‘Cause I’m living on a fault line
And I’m running out of sweet time
Yeah I’m living on a fault line
I’ve got a foot in the boat
And now I’m towing the line
Why can’t you be mine
(Why can’t you be mine)
It’s all your fault
