You took the tunnel route home You'd never taken that way with me before Did you feel a need for change? Apologies on your fingernails Love flickered in the city of lights Like intermittent radio waves I don't need your tears I don't want your love I've just got to get home And I feel like I'm breaking up But I wanted to stay. Headlights on the hillside Don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me I want you to pray 'Cause it's bigger than us You went where the horses cry You'd never taken that way with me before Did you feel a need for a change? Guilt smeared across your lips I was tired and cold from the window You're tired nothing has changed I don't need your tears I don't want your love I've just got to get home And I feel like I'm breaking up But I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside Don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me I want you to pray 'Cause it's bigger than us And I feel like I'm breaking up But I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside Don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me I want you to pray 'Cause it's bigger than us And I feel like I'm breaking up But I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside Don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me I want you to pray 'Cause it's bigger than us And I feel like I'm breaking up But I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside Don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me I want you to pray 'Cause it's bigger than us
