Drive Away

It's not about regret
I just haven't settled yet
I won't compromise our future
For the things we'll never get
In a monochrome wide expanse
Where I got locked in a trance
Now we've got to take our shot
Or I fear we'll never get the chance

Meet me out beside the lake
Where we drowned our past mistakes
I will always hold these memories
But that's all I'm going to take
Snap a Polaroid for the road
For the end of this episode
I know we've always tried to leave this
But it's hard to let it go

We could build our own commune
Find a way up to the moon
We could start again off world
Across the stars
There's a way out left for us
At the city in the dust
Some say there's a hope
So far from where we are
Find the ocean on the coast
Drive away and leave your ghost
They'll be looking for us now
But we'll be gone
And if they ever find us out
We'll go as far as they allow
Then we'll embrace until our end
As the sky carries us on

Heads up high and don't look down
Let's get the hell out of this town
Drive away and don't turn back
We'll find a better place than
These gray and broken towers for miles
We won't be safe yet for a while
We'll drive away until the end of the road
When it feels like home
