Dead End Lyrics

There's a dead end sign at the end of your street

Where I used to pick you up a couple times a week

And you said with me you'd never felt so alive

Made me wanna step on the gas, turn up the music, and drive

In your backyard there's a fence with a door

It didn't go anywhere and you missed the metaphor

You didn't notice that it went somewhere I didn't wanna go

I didn't ask because I didn't wanna know

Tracing my footprints in time

To that time

When you were mine

And that was fine

I was fine

But we were burning so slow

And I know you know

Without air not much can grow

It isn't right to say the things I don't feel

I knew then that you and I weren't the real deal

We were at a dead end

And I just can't pretend

There's a dead end sign in my rear view mirror

My engine is loud, but the music is all I can hear

I'm sorry for leaving you back at your childhood home

But the road feels right driving all on my own

Tracing my footprints in time

To that time

When you were mine

And that was fine

I was fine

But we were burning so slow

And I know you know

Without air not much can grow

Without air not much can grow

Without air not much can grow
