lyrics

I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche
Tumbling and falling down the avalanche
So be quiet tonight
the stars are shining bright
On this mountain of new fallen snow
And I will raise up my voice into the void
You have left me nowhere to go

And I love you so much and it's so bizarre
A mystery that goes on and on and on
This is the best thing
But the very most hard
How we don't get along
After countless appeals
We keep spinning our wheels
On this mountain of new fallen snow
I let go of the catch
And we are over the edge
You have left me nowhere to go

Sometimes you make me lose my will to live
And I just become a beacon for your soul
But the past is stronger than my will to forgive
Forgive you or myself, well I don't know

I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche
Tumbling and falling down the avalanche
So be quiet tonight be sure to step lightly
On this mountain of new fallen snow
And I will raise up my voice into the void
You have left me nowhere to go
You have left me nowhere to go
You have left me nowhere to go
