Call Me When You're Tired
Hours on the road
Radio blaring
Eyes wandering the pavement
Like dark blue nomads
With each slurred eigth note
There's a sway in your neck
A stoplight is a green light
To text me back
Wandering eyes focused on me
Focus on me
You're falling asleep behind the wheel
Again
And again
You call me up
Your only friend awake at three in the morning
Words slurred and giggles
So pure
So precious
Every whisper about God
A secret wrapped inside
You're the only one in the world
My heart can confide
But what if...
The line goes dead
Blood rushing from your head
Down the temple to your sweet face
Noodle neck now broken
Sleepy sighs forever put to rest
In my fading memory
As your memory fades to black
Jesus take the wheel
What if God wanted more?
Your carelessness
It's just a car
Totaled
What if it wasn't a car?
What if this time
It was your life
So please be careful
Please look both ways
Call me when you're tired
Just to keep you safe
Eyes on the road
Focus on my voice
Then we won't have the choice
Pull or don't pull
The plug of life
Pulsing energy to you
Driving miles and miles
Call me when you're tired
Put the phone down otherwise
And please, pretty please
Look twice
