lyrics

Yesterday I walked to my car
Felt the heat rising off the tar
It’s true what they say

I fumble my keys and unlock the door
Next thing I know the pedal’s on the floor
It’s like you’re back in the passenger seat
Windows down so you can hang your feet

From Maine to Vermont and all the way back again
I’ll drive this road until it comes to an end
Our small car is running out of gas
But I won’t know it’s gone til my last chance has passed

I’m gonna stall
I’m gonna brake
All over several states

Now you rest inside of a lake
Where I can swim with you til my lungs start to ache
And it’s true what they say

But when my asthma gets the best of me
I think of you and I breathe easy
I know you’re here when the wind starts to blow
So I hold my breath then I let it go

I had a dream last night that made my blood run cold
I saw my mom and she had grown old
My chambered heart is running out of room
And I won’t know it’s full until a moment too soon

It’s gonna spill
It’s gonna break
All over several states
