  • I used up your compassion
    So I've come to make a trade
    You can hate me but just love me in return
    And if I know where to find you
    I'll stay out of your way
    I won't come beg to borrow all the happiness you earned

    I'll just slide back down to the bottom
    While you make your place in the hills

    [Chorus]
    There's nothing that the road cannot heal
    There's nothing that the road cannot heal
    Washed under the blacktop
    Gone beneath my wheels
    There's nothing that the road cannot heal

    They say the sun won't burn forever
    But that's a science too exact
    I can prove it
    Watch, we're crossing the state line
    See those headlights coming towards us?
    That's someone going back
    To a town they said they'd never, yeah
    They swore it on their lives

    But you can't break out of a circle
    That you never knew you were in

    [Chorus]

    Some would spend their precious time
    Trying to decorate their lives
    Taking measurements for some new look they want

    So from one to ten, ten's exactly what I am
    Zero being everything I'm not

    Tell me what you like
    Is it less than five?
    Is it less than five?

    There's nothing that the road cannot heal
    There's nothing that the road cannot heal
    When I make it to Moab
    I'll get my canteen filled
    There's nothing that the road cannot heal

    Washed under the blacktop
    Gone beneath my wheels
    There's nothing that the road cannot heal Writer/s: CONOR OBERST
