Текст песни Cross Country - Jack Dawkins

I try to find my mind, I drive
Highways, sun's rays, my days, the time
My life, my lines, my lies, my likes
All gone, all wrong, so long, no fight

I'm passing passively, I'm pushing right past my patience
Flipped through AM and then FM, I can't find a station
Two dogs, two lanes, but I got all this baggage
One House, two lives cut to short passage

Picking playlists that won't create reminders
So I'm driving on, most the time I sit in silence
Wooden anniversary, that shit is come and gone
I made it four years, I guess that five was just too long

'Cause I love you and you love me
We both knew it wasn't meant to be

I'm road-tripping with your ghost riding shotgun
Sunflower seeds in the console, I pop some
I feel the shrapnel in my heart like I'm Tony Stark
Texas highways are awful lonely in the dark

There's nothing here but yellow lines and these flags flying
The sound of tires on the asphalt, my quiet crying
If bliss is any emotion that I got fully felt
Then I'll surrender to this pain and let my fear melt

It's one year passed, but that memory's in place
Temporary reprieve but now I can't escape
Pictures flooding in from every corner of my phone
And when I see us with our friends, that's when I feel alone

I don't know what I gave up versus left behind
It's hard to parse reality from stories in my mind (once upon a time)
I'm proud of how it ended, and it all got handled
I just can't accept my whole life got dismantled

'Cause I love you and you love me
We both knew it wasn't meant to be

I'm road-tripping with your ghost riding shotgun
Sunflower seeds in the console, I pop some
I feel the shrapnel in my heart, like I'm Tony Stark
Texas highways, that shit is lonely in the dark

There's nothing here, but yellow lines are all these flags flying
The sound of tires on the asphalt, my quiet crying
If bliss is any emotion that I got fully felt
I'll surrender to this pain and let my fear melt

This is a true story about two people choosing happiness over permanence
It's the most beautiful story I've ever written, which is why it hurts the most
Life is too short to waste it, wondering whether or not you should leave
Especially because leaving might be the most generous thing that you can do

Be here now
Be with your person
No matter what happens
It'll be ok
It'll be ok
I know it may not seem like it now
It'll be ok
