driving my heart away

A pretty girl 
so you say 
rear-view mirror eyes 
I can't recognize 
and all your points 
have shown my way 
shown how stupid I was 
to come or stay 
in every direction 
no need to pick one
driving my heart away 
driving my heart away 
all of my guidance 
lost 
in outer space 
driving my heart away 
driving my heart away 

home sweet humble 
be it ever so 
I can't find the pride 
to meet your compromise 
when all your signs
say wrong way 
I keep on ahead 
with heart thrown away 

in every direction 
no need to pick one
driving my heart away 
driving my heart away 
all of my guidance 
lost 
in outer space 
driving my heart away 
driving my heart away 

journey's end 
is off the map 
there'll be another one 
to take up so much slack 
I won't arrive 
finally or otherwise 
someday I'll just stop 
I won't break down to cry 

whenever I look back 
that's where you'll be, dear 
driving my heart away 
driving my heart away 
making my way lost 
making my way clear 
driving my heart away 
driving my heart away
all of my guidance 
lost 
in outer space 
driving my heart away 
driving my heart away 
at least one of us 
knows how to navigate 
driving my heart away
driving my heart away
