lyrics

There's nothing left between us Marianne
I've put on a good face. I've done the best that I can
I've heard your whole life story but that's not why I came
You've taken up my evening and my mother's name

And the crowd that you've got waiting in the wings
Only serves to remind me that love stinks
I know when something's rotten
How the hell had I forgotten
What was I thinking

You give me love
But, but I've had for miles
I need appreciation, need appreciation
I've been driving all night
Through the valley of hearts
Now I need, I need a destination
Alright

Come November, there's nothing left for us
I can't even remember what there ever was...
I've used up all my money, and I've seen all your moves
But I've got one more dance in me, if you've got one in you

Through the evening breeze my vision starts to clear
Makes me wonder how either of us ended up here
On roads paved with good intentions
Days and nights too long to mention
For so many years

You give me love
But, but I've had for miles
I need appreciation, need appreciation
I've been driving all night
Through the valley of hearts
Now I need, I need a destination

And if don't know what that means
Then I don't know what to say
It's just another breakdown
On the shoulder of the interstate

I wrote a song about a girl named Candy
But I'm not sure I can pull it off
I'm not much of the poet
And even when I'm angry my voice is still soft
So I'll drink a prayer to comfort
And hope that comfort comes
If I can't be satisfied
I can sure as hell be numb

What hope I've got is starting to erode
And I gave up on beauty so long ago
There's nothing left to say
And there's nothing left to save
Bless my soul

You give me love
But, but I've had for miles
I need appreciation, need appreciation
I've been driving all night
Through the valley of hearts
Now I need, I need a destination

And if don't know what that means
Then I don't know what to say
It's just another takedown
It's just another shakedown
It's just another breakdown
On the shoulder of the interstate
