Hole in the Road

Hole in the Road - Jennifer O'Connor

There's a hole in the road

I forget every time

And the impact it shocks me

Right out of my mind

When I'm thinking of you

And the way that you left

Leaving all of us wishing

We had taken that step

And said hello said we cared

Hadn't been frozen scared

By a beauty so painful

And underprepared to lose

And if your memory had a timeline

I'd know right where to begin

Driving down that road in Georgia

When the first chords started in

They hit me like an arrow

A ray of light from the sun

And I didn't know I was a target

Till you made me feel like one

And I was hit in the heart

A bright green shot in the dark

And I knew right then what I had to end

And what I had to start

It's only been one week

Who knows how many will follow

I can only hope that the air in this room

Slowly comes a little bit easier to swallow

Maybe tomorrow

There's a hole in the road

And I guess I'm not surprised

Even though I thought they'd fixed it

Since the last time we drove by

But you can never be too careful

Keep your eyes open wide

And maybe next time you'll remember to

Remember every time

And I hope that you're okay

And I'm sorry that you couldn't stay

And if I ever have the chance again

I'll know exactly what to say
