lyrics

If I was not in your way would you see me?
I get lost in the cracks again and I'm seemly,
Just like an animal
But because I'm in your lane you high-beam me,
If I was not meant to stay would I be me?

A girl does what she can to avoid headlights and sand
And now I think I understand

It's the love I like and not just the scenery
But in the din of the night, there's only machinery:
The refrigerator hum
Is lulling me back down despite my own memory
If I was not meant to stay would I be me

A girl does what she can to avoid headlights and sand
And now I think I understand

What's the story you'd tell if you happened to cream me?
Lost control of the wheel and accidentally reamed me.
Would you pick me up, white-sheeting stray pieces
Or would you drive on straight away into the creases?

A girl does what she can to avoid headlights and sand
And now I think I understand roadkill
