VERSE 1-------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  
Seven hours till the moon sleeps
                                
I lose my mind as I drive away
                                      
Your cigarettes are in the back seat

I can't bring myself to throw away
         
All of the film from the camera
                                        (let ring)
that took all pictures of the images in my mind

CHORUS--------------------------------------------------------------------
                            
So I'll drive a straight line
                 
When I cross the stateline
             
Out into the ocean
                   (let ring)
In a moment I'll be gone
                           
You won't have to feel torn

   

VERSE 2-------------------------------------------------------------------
                                           
Passed the churches full of guilted faith
                                         
Nursing their hangovers from last night
                                 
It won't do me any good to pray

'Cause even god knows that you were right
        
And I was wrong but yeah it kills me
        
That my kid will never know me
                      
With another man by his side

CHORUS--------------------------------------------------------------------
                          
So I'll drive a straight line
                 
When I cross the stateline
             
Out into the ocean
                  
In a moment I'll be gone
 (let ring)              
You won't have to feel torn

    x3

                          
So I'll drive a straight line
                 
When I cross the stateline
             
Out into the ocean
                  
In a moment I'll be gone
                            
So I'll drive a straight line
                 
When I cross the stateline
             
Out into the ocean
                  
In a moment I'll be gone
                           
You won't have to feel torn
                 
Have to feel torn
