INDIGO GIRLS LYRICS - All The Way

"All The Way"



I wasn't looking ot 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 heat seeking path of my trajectory

Didn't we cooly 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 the crash course impact

But have I learned all that I'm supposed to learn



It makes me laugh talking over tea

When I can still smell the smoke on my sleeve

Steaming like gunsmoke 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 oilslick 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



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
