I hate you so much but let’s be honest

I never got to show you my darkest

But next to a fire, I think you still burn the brightest

So we both walked out of the forest

You can always seem to spot the tourists

In those downstate towns where stars seem to flourish

I went the wrong way on the Taconic

And I just wish I could turn around

And we both watched as all the lights went out

When you want something and gotta have it

Get thicker coats to cover up your panic

It's an escape plan, but don’t forget your habits

I went the wrong way on the Taconic

And I just wish I could turn around

And we both watched as all the lights went out

Always looking for a way out

But I can never get a grip now

Turn the wheel into the trees

Won’t you come with me?

A grave that everyone found

I went the wrong way on the Taconic

And I just wish I could turn around

And we both watched as all the lights went out

They went the wrong way, now everyone died

They spilt their guts by the way of the roadside

Leave some flowers and see me when you drive
