I wish you were awake so you could hear my confession Not so very far away so you could answer my questions Will we find ourselves alone at the end of the line are we running out of roads, will you be mine I’m broken down (I’m broken down) by the side of the road I’m broken down (I’m broken down) won’t you tell me where to go I’m broken down (I’m broken down) Gotta leave this town and I need you now but you won’t be around, I’m broken down
