lyrics

If you could drive I’ll close my eyes dear
Wake me up when you think that we’re near
It’s been so long since we filled the tank up
Lets run out and start a new where we stop
Push the car to the closest village
Change our names and live like newlyweds

Find an empty home
Something rent controlled
I’ll pay first and last

We’ll live out our new normal
Our new normal lets go

We can shop at the local thrift store
We’ve got things but there’s probably room for more
We’ll read books and tend our gardens
Spring softens what winter hardens

Opening up a store
You’ll sell vintage clothes
I’ll sell my LPs

And live out our new normal
Our new normal lets go

We can start a band
I can call you Paul
I’ll be your Linda

Up ahead we see salvation
Sudden glow of a filling station
We could choose to face the lights
Or maybe we’ll drive into the night
