lyrics

As I was approaching, I pulled out my phone
as I'm trying to keep at least one eye on the road
Though I’m occupied, I fumble through “come outside”
“We look like hell and its best to be honest”
A smile emerged as you looked down at your outfit and said
“I don’t know, considering all of this context,
I at least, I look somewhat appropriate”

“Wait a minute, I know there’s a joke here to make if I can just find it”
“Take your time - I can wait”
“Its not coming, but lets pretend it did and it landed great”

“We can stay here until morning, no one should bother us”
Loose clothes in the backseat “I’ll lock the door shut”
“Until I get back with blankets and spare water from the trunk”
"This isn’t so bad, in fact, I find it endearing
Do you want to talk next steps or wait until the morning?”
“Let’s wait; in 6 hours the sun will come pounding
Through the windshield and we’ll wake whether we like it or not”

“Officer, I swear I have a license, I just can't find it
We were just trying to get some rest.
I promise we’re just trying to get some rest”

When a familiarity has turned into strangeness,
I’ll reach for what I can with my arms
Through a thick fog I see trees in the distance and the sign for the exit I want
“We’ll need to re-pad our breaks and rotate our tires
Before we head into the mountains tomorrow
But other than that, supplies, and a full tank of gas
I haven’t given much thought to what comes after”

Look, Ive been careless with the use of my language
And if I haven’t made much sense, please say so and I’ll try again
