lyrics

Georgia bound in the half-light,
Never felt so right.
Autumn mountains rising in the window,
Burning like they know
Our broken hearts were broke clean through.
They burned in me and they burned in you.
So we joined in their song.
I don’t mind if the drive is long.

Windows down, laughing like a clear creek.
No need to speak.
Felt like we were really going somewhere,
November in our hair.
I keep that feather on the windowsill
To remind we why it’s worth trying still.
And we cry every time we sing about that drive,

For there are things we can’t forget,
There are tears we cannot shake,
But we learn to hold those memories with grace,
And remember there are bigger things at stake.

Settled down for the night,
Firelight.
Frost was forming on my knapsack,
Midnight, bright black.
The hayfield bed and the brittle air
Were freezing cold, but I didn’t care,
Cause at least I had you,
And at least you had me.

In the morning, walking through the forest,
Tea and oranges.
You said you were glad you came along.
I said, “I’m sorry I was wrong.”
And I cradled you like an old guitar,
And we thanked the road that brought us so far.
And I still don’t understand what rose up in us then,

But the things we cannot know,
The things we cannot comprehend,
Whether they are false or not, my friend,
Are the truest things about us in the end.

Here’s our exit, almost over.
Or if you want to, we could just keep going.
