Indigo Girls - All The Way lyrics

I wasn't looking to shift my direction My eyes straight ahead hands ten and two The gravity of our first connection Veering off the road and into you All the people drive by slowly gawking at the scene Of the smoldering inevitable spark and gasoline All the way I met you head on full speed At the heart the blue flame burns All the way I took the crash course impact But have I learned all that I'm supposed to learn No amount of playing safe could save me from this day The head seeking path of my trajectory Didn't we coolly divest of predestination Slamming into futures we can't see I know what can happen when there's more than meets the eye But there's no way to avoid it just get in the car and drive All the way I met you head on full speed At the heart the blue flame burns All the way I took crash course impact But have I learned all that I'm supposed to learn It makes me laugh, we're talking over tea When I can still smell the smoke on my sleeve Steaming like gun smoke the wreckage of our past The scene of a crime I still can't leave Oh you and me, we should let well enough be But each revisitation points to clues There's the oil slick of uncertainty And warning signs back there we didn't use At least we laugh about it now how we escaped alive It's remarkable the mess we make and what we can survive (repeat chorus)
