Hey, love

Wait up

I think the call is breaking up

I drove my car into the dirt

Can you pull me out? I'm kinda stuck

Oh I miss my friends and the way it was

They've got big plans and city jobs

The truth is I'm still kinda lost

My parents split, now they don't talk

But I guess that they aren't heroes

We'll all make the same mistakes

We'll drink because our hearts are heavy

Try to smoke it all away

And all the things that are meant to shape us

Only bend and burn and break

Used to wish that I was famous

Now I want to run away

'Cause I'm 'bout two years from 30

And life scares me more each day

I've got a man that swears he loves me

But I'm afraid that he won't stay

So I drive out to the ocean

Just to wash my blues away

Takes me back to all the places

Feels like I'm flicking through the pages

Blue skies, long roads

Stopped the car in Idaho

Motel rooms and Super 8s

Capturing the golden days

I miss you and me and wintertime

Log fires, sipping mulled wine

How easy I lose sight of the good old times

Thinking back to when I was in New York

Falling in love with my future

In the back of a bar playing snooker

Got in trouble with my Scottish humour

'Cause the jokes don't land, I just sound kind of mean

And I felt so fucking bad I stayed up all night

Thinking how it's crazy that we

That we fall in love so quickly

But the moving on is slow

I'm a master at commitment

I'm a novice at letting go

And all the songs played on my car rides know me better than my ghosts

See, I open like a passport

Shut you out like border control

And I'm two years from 30

And life scares me more each day

I've got a man that swears he loves me

But I'm afraid that he won't stay

So I drive out to the ocean

Just to wash my blues away

Takes me back through all the ages

Feels like I'm flicking through the pages

Hold my heart

Wash the blues away

It's been hard

So hard

If I'm honest, babe

All these scars

Hurt me more each day

Takes me to places

Feels like I'm flicking through the pages
