Cross Country Lyrics

I try to find my mind I drive

High ways, Sun's rays, my days, the time

My life, my lines, my lies, my likes

All gone, all wrong, so long, no fight

I'm passing passively, I'm pushing right past my patience

Flipped through AM and then FM, I can't find a station

Two dogs, two lanes, but I got all this baggage

One House, two lives cut to short passage

Picking playlists that won't create reminders

So I'm driving on most the time I sit in silence

Wooden anniversary that shit is come and gone

I made it four years I guess that five was just too long

Cause I love you

And you love me

We both knew it

Wasn't meant to be

I'm road-tripping with your ghost riding shotgun

Sunflower seeds in the console; I pop some

I feel the shrapnel in my heart like I'm Tony Stark

Texas highways are awful lonely in the dark

There's nothing here but yellow lines and these flags flying

The sound of tires on the asphalt, my quiet crying

If bliss is any emotion that I got fully felt

Then I'll surrender to this pain and let my fear melt

It's one year passed but that memory's in place

Temporary reprieve but now I can't escape

Pictures flooding in from every corner of my phone

And when I see us with our friends, that's when I feel alone

I don't know what I gave up vs left behind,

It's hard to parse reality from stories in my mind

I'm proud of how it ended and it all got handled

I just can't accept my whole life got dismantled

Cause I love you

And you love me

We both knew it

Wasn't meant to be

I'm road-tripping with your ghost riding shotgun

Sunflower seeds in the console, I pop some

I feel the shrapnel in my heart, like I'm Tony Stark

Texas highways, that shit is lonely in the dark

There's nothing here but yellow lines are all these flags flying

The sound of tires on the asphalt, my quiet crying

If bliss is any emotion that I got fully felt

I'll surrender to this pain and let my fear melt

This is a true story about two people choosing happiness over permanence.

It's the most beautiful story I've ever written, which is why it hurts the most.

Life is too short to waste it, wondering whether or not you should leave.

Especially because leaving might be the most generous thing that you can do.

Be Here Now

Be with your person

No matter what happens

It'll be OK

It'll be OK

I know it may not seem like it now

It'll be OK
