Chris Pureka - Driving North lyrics

I've got skin like birch bark
You can peel me off and lose me to the wind
I guess it's too late
To protect myself from this

It feels like I’ve been driving north
It's getting colder by the mile
And at this rate I’ll be buried in snow
In no time at all
But, you've been building these walls
For a long time it's not that I didn't know
But, you'd flash me another smile
As you'd lay another stone

And I still fall for that
I still fall for that one every time

This is all that's left
Just these sad, sad songs
If you're going to go your way
I guess I’ll carry myself along

Could you build me a guardrail
To keep me from falling off of the ledge?
Or throw me a rope and pull me out of this?

Could you sew me a flag to remind me
Where I stand without you it's easy
To forget

This is all that's left
Just these sad, sad songs
If you're going to go your way
I guess I’ll carry myself along

Well I’ve been taking long drives
With the music too loud
I’ve been dragging my feet over this
February ground

And I’ve been talking to strangers
At the local bars and I wish they were you
You know it just brings me down
Tell me a joke or two I could use one now

I've got skin like birch bark
You can peel me off and lose me to the wind
I guess it's too late
To protect myself from this

This is all that's left
Just these sad, sad songs
If you're going to go your way
I guess I’ll carry myself along
