There's Nothing that the Road Cannot Heal

This is a wonderful song. The title of the song is actually Moab, and the artist is Conor Oberst.

I used up your compassion
So I've come to make a trade
You can hate me but just love me in return
If I know where to find you
I'll stay out of your way
I won't come back to borrow all the happiness you've earned
I'll just slide back down to the bottom
While you make your place in the hills.

There's nothing that the road cannot heal
There's nothing that the road cannot heal!
Washed beneath 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 headlines coming towards us
That's someone going back
To a town they swore 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.

There's nothing that the road cannot heal
There's nothing that the road cannot heal
Washed beneath the blacktop,
Gone beneath my wheels,
There's nothing that the road cannot heal.

Someone spent 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 beneath the blacktop,
Gone beneath my wheels,
There's nothing that the road cannot heal.
