Just 3 miles from the rest stop
and she slams on the brakes she said i tried to be, but i'm not so could you please collect your things But i dont want to be cold, i dont want to be cruel but i got to find more than whats happening with you and if you'd open up the door She said, While you were sleeping i was listening to the radio and wondering what your dreaming when it came to mind that i didnt care and i thought hell if its over, well i had better end it quick or i could lose my nerve' are you listening? can you hear me? have you forgotten? Just 3 miles from the rest stop and my mouths to dry to rage the light was shining from the radio i could barely see her face but she knew all the words that i never had said she knew the crumpled up promise of this broken down man as i opened up the door, she said While you were sleeping i was listening to the radio and wondering what your dreaming when it came to mind that i didnt care and i thought, hell if its over, then i had better end it quick or i could lose my nerve' are you listening? can you hear me? While you were sleeping i was listening to the radio and wondering what your dreaming when it came to mind that i didnt care so i thought hell if its over, well i had better end it quick or i could lose all my nerve' are you listening? can you hear me? While you were sleeping i was listening to the radio and wondering what your dreaming when it came to mind that i didnt care i thought hell if its over, well i had better end it quick or i could lose all my nerve' are you listening? can you hear me? |

18 posts | The way I see it is they have been in a relationship for a while and she realizes that he doesn't love her and she doesn't love him and that they are just going through the motions and she needs to dump him while she has the guts too because if she doesnt they will just stay in a loveless relationship because it is safe and not be able to find what will make them happy in their lives.
GREAT MEANINGFUL SONG! |

3 posts | The way I see it, she was just going thru the motions of a relationship. She realizes she wants more out of life and acts on it before she talks herself out of it. |

1 posts | I do not agree. This song is about two people in a relationship when suddenly the woman realizes that she doesn't love him |

2 posts | This song is easily one of the darkest Matchbox 20 has ever written. As I see it, it's about a guy in love with this girl who doesn't have the heart to dump him the conventional way so she drives him out to the middle of nowhere and tells him to get his s**t and get out. Great lyrics. Awesome song-- in fact one of their most underrated ones. |
