about

This song was written in 2010 and used for my old band The Highways End. Recorded early 2014.

lyrics

Do you remember all our dreams of getting out?
and getting out of this town?
We sat in my car, you got off the front porch.
We sat in front of your house.

We sat in front of your mailbox where my letters always came.
You said you want to leave again when you just got off the plane.
We talked about our lives here.
White picket fences seemed like jail cells.
Suburban small town class trap isn't as great as it seems now.

And it seems like we'll never escape...

All the things that get in the way of our dreams.
And everything they say about us...
You said you want to go to a place that is far from here,
start a brand new life.

I swear someday I'm gonna show up
and i'll be right on your front porch
and when you open the door
my bags will be packed.

And I'll say:

"the highways open, will you come and take my hand
and go far away with me?"

But for now i'll be here for you across town,
and waiting for our forever.
I'll swear someday we'll leave this place,
and drive away together.
