Rest Stop - Lyrics by Matchbox 20


Lyrics
We're just 3 miles, from the rest stop
And she slams on the breaks
She said I tried to be but I'm not
And could you please collect your things
Well I don't wanna be cold
I don't wanna be cruel
But I've gotta find more than what's happened with you
So if you'd open up my door(chorus)
She said while you were sleepin'I was listenin' to the radio and wonderin' what you were dreamin' when
It came to mind that I didn't care
So I thought hell if it's over
Then I had better end it quick or I could lose my nerve
Are you listenin'? can you hear me? Have you forgotten? Just 3 miles from the rest stop
And my mouth's too dry to reach it
A light was shining from the radio
And I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumbled up promise of a broken down man
As I opened up my door(chorus)
But I've forgotten, yeah
Have you forgotten? You just don't love to love like I love(chorus)
While you were sleepin'I was listenin' to the radio and wonderin' what you were dreamin' when
It came to mind that I didn't care
Hell if it's over
I had better end it quick or I could lose all my nerve
Are you listenin'? can you hear me? Can you hear me?
