“Two headlights shine through the sleepless night
and I will get you, get you alone
Your name has echoed through my mind
And I just think you should, think you should know
That nothing safe is worth the drive
And I will follow you follow you home
I'll follow you follow you home”

If I could be where you are
if I could reach out and touch you
and bring you back home

Is there a sign I should know
Is there a road I could follow
to bring you back home to me”
