Somewhere Between Wreckage and Dreaming

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rain hit the windshield on this dark and stormy night, Looking like diamonds thrown against the blackened light. Now, you might wonder how I'd ever know such a sight, But I'll be the first to tell you— My life's never exactly run right.. So the diamonds that I stole sit safely by my side, But now I'm running scared, so I had to take flight. Down these dark back-country roads, I'm speeding through the rain, While the thought of getting caught keeps pounding through my brain. Every flash of blue I imagine in the mirror, Every mile I steal just makes the ending feel much nearer. [Verse 2] I turn another corner with no way for me to see, Slide straight off the roadway— Through a branch, a ditch, a tree. And as my mind starts fading, slipping somewhere dark and deep, I swear I hear two women's voices Calling somewhere through my sleep. When I finally come around, everything is blurred and new, There are two women over me, tending every cut and bruise. Their beauty is astounding, so I swear it must be a dream— One with red hair falling down, And the bluest eyes I've ever seen. The other has dark brown hair, With a sly and wicked smile, Whispering dirty little jokes Like she's known me for a while. [Pre-Chorus] And that's when things get strange, Their hands begin to glide, They look at one another Like they're sharing something I can't hide. Their fingers move across me Like water down a hill, And they catch me catching every touch, Every shiver, every thrill. [Chorus] Two angels on a storm road, Finding me half-dead, Rain dripping from their bodies, Danger dancing in my head. I don't know if Heaven sent them, Or Hell just let them through, But somewhere between wreckage and dreaming, I swear that night was true. Two angels in the darkness, Pulling me into the flame, And every time the thunder rolls, I swear I hear them call my name. [Verse 3] I look up through the darkness— What the hell do I see? Their lips touch soft together While something wakes inside of me. Then, laughing in the lightning, They let their bodies free, Pressing close against each other, Then sliding into me. Skin against skin, Sweat shining underneath the storm, Three bodies tangled together, Keeping each other warm. Their mouths taste like rainwater, Their laughter low and wild, And for one reckless minute I forget the wreckage piled. I lay them gently backward Until they're resting on their backs, My mouth moving between them While the thunder starts to crack. And when I hear them moaning, I raise my eyes again— But suddenly there's nothing there Except the storm and wind. [Chorus] Two angels on a storm road, Finding me half-dead, Rain dripping from their bodies, Danger dancing in my head. I don't know if Heaven sent them, Or Hell just let them through, But somewhere between wreckage and dreaming, I swear that night was true. Two angels in the darkness, Pulling me into the flame, And every time the thunder rolls, I swear I hear them call my name. [Bridge] Maybe they were spirits. Maybe I was gone. Maybe I'd been dreaming From the moment that I spun. Maybe they were angels Who just let me ride along, Long enough to make me wonder Where the hell that night belonged. 'Cause there were no tracks beside me, No footprints in the rain, No perfume in the torn-up seats, No whisper of a name. Just broken glass and stolen stones, Mud soaked through my clothes, And the memory of two bodies That vanished like a ghost. [Final Chorus] Those angels on the storm road Still haunt me when I drive, Two beautiful apparitions Who somehow kept me alive. I don't know if Heaven sent them, Or if madness made them real, But nothing since that night Has ever made me feel the way they made me feel. Those angels in the darkness, I'll remember till I'm gone, And whenever rain hits midnight roads, I swear they're riding along. I still see red hair in the lightning, Still see that wicked brown-eyed grin, And wonder if the storm gets dark enough, Would they come find me again? [Outro] So now when storms come rolling And the road disappears from view, I think about those stolen diamonds And those angels dressed in blue. I think about the wreckage, About the life I should have lost, And how two strangers found me Where the rain and darkness crossed. Maybe I was dreaming. Maybe they were never there. But every time the thunder breaks, I swear I feel them in the air. Two angels on a storm road, Gone before the night could end— And every storm still leaves me wondering If I'll ever see them again.
