Don't stop me now.

Cold Desert

I’m on the corner waiting for a light to come on, that’s when I know that you’re alone.

It’s cold in the desert, water never sees the ground. Special spoken without a sound.

You told me you loved me, that I’d never die alone. Hand over your heart, let’s go home.

Everyone noticed, everyone has seen the signs, I’ve always been known to cross lines.

I never cried when I’m feeling down, I’ve always been scared of the sound.

Jesus don’t love me, no one ever carries my load.

I’m too young to feel this old.

Here’s to you. Here’s to me. On to us, nobody knows, nobody sees.

Nobody but me.
