Freeway View

I got a room with a Freeway view
I'm only home at night
I ain't ever coming back to you
Or then again I might
Then again I might get lonely
Then again I might not know my mind
I got a job on a survey crew
Pays enough for me
I ain't never coming back to you
Then again, then again we'll see
This time it just might take
This time it might just make it real
Can not keep my hands off you ( x 4)
Can not keep my hands off you ( x 4)
I got a room with a Freeway view
I'm only home at night
I ain't ever coming back to you
Better off alone
I would rather keep my frozen heart
I love you but I chosen darkness
Can not keep my hands off you ( x 4)
Can not keep my hands off you ( x 4)
