High Beam (Fall Apart) Year: 2007 | Run Time: 4:17
Written by Bill Mallonee

well if you care to listen and even if you don't
well i got over needing you a long time ago
i took great care to know you and i gave you all my best
i was living to make you smile i was dying to impress

but all this getting born all these roses and the thorns
and the confusing (more less bloody) parts
i cobbled my life together with them
just to watch it fall apart

so i took it to the road yeah and i took it from my dreams
till i became invisible and lost in the high beam
the pen it never ran dry like a sword i learned to wield
i used my words to expose and i used them to conceal

what was heavy as hell and far too much to carry
i wrote my prayers and my S.O.S. on bar stationery
from where i stumbled last night staggering right back to the start
what you learn comes the hard way and will softly break your heart
