LYRICS:
I've been spending all my time on these freeways,
thinking about shorter nights and long summer days
I only see you through dirty windows
and glimpses under neon glow
We’ve got so many miles ahead
You’re always present but you’re not available
Like a hungry ghost chasing the unattainable
I can see all of your stripes under the stars
Pictures of you are written in every bar
In every song in my head
I’m holding onto ideas of you
But they’re the ones you can never live up to
I’m holding onto ideas of you
Should I let go and hold onto something new?
Like a cautionary tale that you tell yourself
In a ghost town, beat down, never owned a real address
Mirrors don’t reflect, they reject who we are
And keep our ideal selves in the dark
We have a long way to go
I’m holding onto ideas of you
But they’re the ones you can never live up to
I’m holding onto ideas of you
Should I let go and hold onto something new?
Something new… (don’t let go)
Something new… (don’t let give just yet)
Something new… (I can change)
I’m holding onto ideas of you
But they’re the ones you can never live up to
I’m holding onto ideas of you
Should I let go and hold onto something new?
