Backroads

We used to drive on the backroads We used to keep the windows down So we could feel the raindrops And breathe in the night We'd surrender, we weren't even keeping score Happy we were never wanting more Now you've been making your deadlines Keeping everything Always moving in straight lines And perfect symmetry So now we know exactly where we stand And I wonder what you're thinking now That you finally got what you wanted And you're pushing the world not to change Freeze into familiar shapes No more backroads left for us to take We used to drive on the backroads Get lost just to lose our place We used to lie down Just to see the world on its side Now we know exactly where we are Why do we even care exactly where we are? Now you've been running the table Winning every time I'm willing and able To concede it to you So now we know exactly what we had when we were lost And I wonder what you're finding now That you finally got what you wanted And the lines of your world never change Freeze into familiar shapes Only so many backroads left to take Let them take you anyway Ice ages and glaciers rearranged the maps There's only so much farther you can look back I remember better times The oldest pages with the faintest lines We still have a way to read them But babe, we might be running out of time You finally got what you wanted And now you're holding the world in its place What is it you're clinging to Is there nothing left for us to do We can do it anyway We can do it anyway You finally got what you wanted Just think back, when did everything change? There's always one more new way home One more hidden backroad left to take Left to take
