When I Hit The Brakes

I should have known by the look on your face when you climbed in the car where you wanted to go.

Rumors I'd heard

no longer ignored

You opened your mouth but before you could speak

I said no, I really don't think I want to know

I really don't think I want to go that far now

Let's just stay right where we are now

leave well enough alone

I squint at the road but I can still see

windshield reflections; you're staring at me.

You've something to say that I don't want to hear

and it gets hard to drive when I'm covering my ears.

So I say no, I really don't think I want to know

I really don't think I want to go that far down

I'd rather stay uninvolved now

These fevered confessions frighten me and though you're my friend

I swear if you don't stop soon it's a long walk home again.

You just won't quit

what made you believe I wanted to hear the secrets you keep?

Now I see what it takes

your head hits the windshield when I hit the brakes

cause I said no, I really don't think I want to know

I really don't think I want to go that far now

Let's just stay right where we are now

I said no, I really don't think I want to know

I really don't think I want to go that far down

You've gotten me involved now

Now look what you've done
