Road to Perdition Songtext

von Quiet Company

I looked across the room and saw a face shining in the dark
Like a lighthouse, warning weary sailors of the rocks below,

And telling stories bigger than the Iliad or Odyssey.
I've got a feeling you're my alpha and omega and my in between.

Yes I do really think that I could like you
Yeah, it's true, that you don't know me but I'd like you to spend some time
'cause I can't get you off my mind

I heard that you're a jew, is it a problem I'm a christian?
Well I don't give a damn, I've got a habit of abandoning traditions.
'cause I like the way you laugh, that I seem to make it happen,
If you want to know the truth, it was something that I needed.
I have been so depressed.

Yes I do really think that I could like you
Yeah, it's true, that you don't know me but I'd like you to spend some time
'cause I can't get you off my mind
