Return to lyrics

Where no one ever breaks your heart

Hanging tight to a hand full of quicksand when there’s nothing left to lose

Photographs of the memory flashbacks, picture-perfect something new, yeah.

Spent his time clinging on to the shadows of a life he used to know

All the while there’s a girl by his side who swore she’d never let him go

But when he dreams he sees a never-ending highway

Where everything’s complete, and nothing ever falls apart.

Come fate or fantasy, he swore he’d get there someday

But he got lost trying to find a way, where no one ever breaks your heart.

He was out running wild through the landmines; she was ready to explode.

Then a kiss like a spark in the nighttime let the fairy tale unfold.

But then the change in seasons brought the storms

Long after the butterflies were gone

Ping pong, “who’s right or who’s wrong”

Goes on and goes on and goes on yeah, yeah, yeah.

But when she dreams she sees two lovers on the highway

But in reality they’re slowly growing far apart.

She says she still believes they’ll be together someday

But now she’s gone off to find her way where no one ever breaks your heart.

And in between their screams they sing along in perfect harmony

Until eventually they’ll need to let their horses all run free.

But when they think of letting go it’s like a jackknife through the soul.

But are they better off alone? They may never know.

But when they dream they see the crossroads on the highway.

Through broken promise rings they swore they’d never be apart.

Matches and kerosene will burn their bridges someday,

Or will they both find a better way where no one ever breaks your heart.
