📜 Lyrics
You say "the worst part of the driving is over"
Even though it has only begun
This adventure we have embarked upon
Off to a good start
The mid-west in mid-December
Is colder than I could have imagined
But one can bare it with a worthy companion
We're overtired, but we'll manage
As gas station caffeine is our fuel
We're setting forth with our baggage
It's both emotional and literal
In this hire car, we're on the right side
Though it feels wrong
Plug my phone in to play a folk song, it seems
We came to look for the American dream
Without realising
It's almost Christmas in Philly
They really go all out with these lights
This dense and decorative city
Is buzzing with suspense as it will soon be draped
In white
Run down so we fake 'til we feel wide awake
Long days longer nights on this road cloaked in ice
I sense you were stung
But I hope you can come to see
And know that you can lean on me
You say she broke your heart
You turned to art to ease the aching
She felt her mind was ever-changing, it all
Didn't play out in the way that you thought
Nor the way you'd want
I know your wounds are still inflamed
It's in the way you say her name out loud
But I have faith that it won't be too long
Until someone who'll take you as you are will be
Coming 'round
Pitstops in ghost towns, see the landscape that surrounds
Turn gold in the light of the evening
In spite of hours travelling, time is rapidly passing us by my friend
And I'd do it all again though run down
But we fake 'til we feel wide awake
Long days longer nights on this road cloaked in ice
I sense you were stung, but I hope you have come to see
And know that you can lean on me
(My biggest fear would be that
We get stuck in snow after a show
On the way to middle of
Fing Nowheresville Kentucky
I literally said those words
It's happening)
Even though it has only begun
This adventure we have embarked upon
Off to a good start
The mid-west in mid-December
Is colder than I could have imagined
But one can bare it with a worthy companion
We're overtired, but we'll manage
As gas station caffeine is our fuel
We're setting forth with our baggage
It's both emotional and literal
In this hire car, we're on the right side
Though it feels wrong
Plug my phone in to play a folk song, it seems
We came to look for the American dream

It's almost Christmas in Philly
They really go all out with these lights
This dense and decorative city
Is buzzing with suspense as it will soon be draped

Run down so we fake 'til we feel wide awake
Long days longer nights on this road cloaked in ice

But I hope you can come to see
