Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cutting through the country
On my way to you
Running out of reds
Coming up with truths
Cutting through a cornfield
Talking to myself
Hooking up with strangers
Asking them for help
Waiting for forever
Waiting for your call
I know it sounds crazy
We could have it all
And if you needed someone
If you needed proof
I'm cutting through the country
I'm on my way to you
[Chorus]
I'm cutting through the country
Listening for you
Someone I could trust
Wishing it was us
Yeah, nothing lasts forever
And everybody dies
I don't wanna leave
Unless it's here with you tonight
I'm pulling from a bottle
Flipping on my phone
Looking for a life
Looking for a home
Cutting through the country
Call me when you're up
Nothing lasts forever
But I'm not in a rush
[Verse 2]
Every day's a movie
And I've already seen
I'm cutting through the country
I might fall asleep
Wake up in a cartoon
Falling through the Earth
Give me something real, babe
And nobody gets hurt
And ain't nobody tell you
How it's gonna feel
You just get to get it
And disappointment's real
Slapping some piano
Feeling like a chump
Cutting all the corners
You can skip lunch
Nothing is forever
And I don't even know
This is how it goes
This is how it goes
People get sick
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
But that's just how it goes
[Verse 3]
And everybody loves you
Yeah, you're the fucking boy
Get bent down
Never hit the ground
Nothing is forever
Nothing is for sure
And everybody loves you
Loves to see you go
Oh, loves to see you go
Loves to see you run
Loves to see if you—
If you are enough, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm cutting through the country
On my way to you
Nothing lasts forever
But you already knew
I'm cutting through the country
On my way to you
[Chorus]
I'm cutting through the country
On my way to you
I'm cutting through the country
On my way to you
I'm cutting through the country
On my way to you
On my way to you
On my way to you
[Outro]
Thinking 'bout dying
Thinking 'bout us
Looking for someone
Something I can trust
Tryna find freedom
Tryna find real
That ain't how it goes
That ain't how it feels
I'm cutting through the country
