lyrics

Friends in the front
Watching the road
Lay in the back
She's trying to go
Sleep in their car
Her coat for a bed
The journey is long
Her head resting on her hands

Even though the journey is a passer by
Thanks for asking why
Thanks for asking why
Even though the message doesn't read so well
I shot the messenger
She's the messenger

The backseat is warm
And so is the glow
The orange and red
That dances with shadows
Circus of lights
Draws open her eyes
Try as she might
She cannot disguise herself

Does it have to be like this?
Why is it like this?

Even though the journey is a passer by
Thanks for asking why
Thanks for asking why
Even though the message doesn't read so well
I shot the messenger
She's the messenger

I thought I might have missed
But now I can sure can tell
That my arrow struck her well
But since then I fell
Into the loving arms of what I now call mine
She's the best in me
She's the best in me

Even though the journey is a passer by
Thanks for asking why
Thanks for asking why
Even though the message doesn't read so well
I shot the messenger
She's the messenger
