The end of the road after a number of attempts at running from the truth, at blaming someone else, of whining. A revelation that you can only get when you've reached the bottom.

“Addictive hooks, stirring lyrics, and some truly incredible harmonies - this CD is the absolute pinnacle of acoustic folk rock. But it's more: the intricately woven words elevate each of these songs from heartfelt pop to musical poetry. You couldn't ask for twelve more perfect songs, or two more talented musicians to sing them.” --Mercury John, Memphis, TN

Story behind the song
The first lines were written in my head on the way home from the studio. I imagined a breakdown in the desert, and a shameful call home for help.
Lyrics
Wire money I just need to get back home I know I’m out of IOUs Sell anything I own This run has finally done for me What my long stories never seemed to manage Come take advantage of me While I am finally out of breath I’ve talked our entire lives to death And now I’m finally out of breath So that there’s nothing left to say But I’m sorry again In the desert I saw you as I’ve never seen You’re the last oasis for me Saved me from everything And those words I’ve heard from you so many times You’d think by now that I would have memorized them They’re striking a chord and it’s loud ‘Cause I am finally out of breath From all the scamming and planning and debts And now I’m finally out of breath So that there’s nothing left to say Hey, but I’m sorry again Just tell me you might Just tell me you might believe me I’m sorry my friend I can’t breathe and I will not leave again
