"Roadkill" lyrics

I wanna be roadkill
Find me a mile up ahead
Lying there on the roadside
Say "Don't worry now, it's already dead"
Pick me up like I'm fragile
Carry me to the nearest tree
Or bury me under gravel
Just deep enough so nobody finds me

I've tried to describe
Just how carefully I would carry you
And maybe I'm crazy
But some part of me had to care for you

What if I give up too soon?
A racehorse with nothing to win
Running just 'cause I'm supposed to
'Cause they bet too much money on it
And I've got nothing to fight with
But I'll do it 'cause you asked me to
A guard dog with a death wish
In the center of the ring, I lose

I've tried to describe
Just how carefully I would carry you
And maybe I'm crazy
But some part of me had to care for you
What would it take for me to be cared for, too?
