[Verse 1: Time]
I'm driving down
This country road half way to town
The purple sunsets behind me, the city's in front
My headlights were my eyes then it happened all at once
I saw a shadow on the road but I was moving too quick
I slammed on the brakes then I felt your skull hit
You turned into a speed bump, my brake lights reflected my eyes
I came to a stop, I tried not to cry as you died
I threw it in drive, I couldn't even look at you, I guess I'm a coward inside
So I drove to city where the animals are already dead
I wandered through the streets double playing your death in my head
Rewind, rewind, pause and then stop
There's no fast forward on the past, we're caged in with thought
I'm thinking and thinking, making excuses to block it out
But I can see his face and his bloody snout
No one cares if trees fall or if they make a sound
All that matters is what we see and all I saw was you and my tire marks on the ground
All I saw was you and my tire marks on the ground

[Hook: Time]
Deer god oh deer god
What have i done oh deer god

[Verse 2: Time]
And I still cringe every time I drive down that god forsaken road
Knowing that was the place where your body got separated from your soul
My foot was the trigger, my silver car was the bullet
The steering wheel aimed, fate's finger cocked the hammer and pulled it
You laid down and never got up, I went home to my family, I guess you can call it luck
You left with the sun, it set on you that night
I woke up with nothing except guilt and a mind full of fright
A piece of me died that day but I guess that's best than losing all the rest
You just wanted to get to the other side you did but it was death
Our eyes met, yours were calm we were both trying to get home
One of us made it but under it all were just blood and bones
And I can still see the stains and the fur on my hood
And I know I can't but if I could take it back I would
Not for your sake but for mine and I know that's selfish but if I said anything else I'd be lying
And I know we're all born for a reason and if not then the theory of god is all wrong
Cause maybe you were sent to die so you could turn into a song
