lyrics

I cracked up from loneliness, I split out the door
Left behind some messages, I wish that I did more
Like I am a whisper, fading fast from view
Only wished that I had learned to love you

I cracked up from hard times, from being kind of a rich man's son
From being the son of an immigrant, who maybe worked too hard
I cracked up in silence, wailing inside my head
And I broke down on highways, where loved ones never tread

Saw the highway coming, saw my ghost go running
Knew I was out of luck, just before the truck and me cracked up
They say just before you die, your life flashes right before your eyes.
I saw the wire coming, I saw the blood running out of me
running like a deep red sea

Oh lord help me, oh lord help me

I cracked up in rhyme, I forgot about the time
Forgot about who I'm suppose to be
I cracked up from innocence, from trying to be free
Trying to be

Oh saw the highway coming, saw my ghost come running
Knew I was out of luck, before the truck and me cracked up
They say right before your die, your life flashes right before your eyes
I saw the wire coming, saw the blood running out of me
Running like a deep red sea.

Oh lord help me, oh lord help me

Like I am a whisper, fading fast from view
Only wish that I had learned to love you

Oh lord help me, saw the highway coming
Oh lord help me, saw my ghost go running
Oh lord help me, oh lord help me
