Where We Always End Up

Verse 1
Same old exit off the highway
Coffee sign flickers in the dark
You text “five” and send a half-heart
I’m already parked behind your car

Pre-Chorus
We say “just a minute”
Then an hour disappears
Talk in circles
Trace the years
Guess we’re never finished

Chorus
This is where we always end up
Same booth by the dusty jukebox
Same laugh when the world gets too much
You and me
Letting all the words rush
Doesn’t matter where the day runs out
Every road somehow finds this town
Every turn
Every twist
Every what-if doubt
This is where we always
Always end up

Verse 2
Late run
Windows down
You’re barefoot
Feet on my dash
Singing off-key
Red farm sign
That crooked side road
Knows every secret you told to me

Pre-Chorus
We drive past our reasons
Till the streetlights start to blur
Say we’re done
Then here we are
Right back in our seasons

Chorus
This is where we always end up
Front seat in the quiet cul-de-sac
Hearts loud while the houses sleep shut
You and me
Never really fall back
Doesn’t matter where the day runs out
Every road somehow finds this town
Every turn
Every twist
Every what-if doubt
This is where we always
Always end up

Bridge
We could try changing routes
Take the long way
Turn around (turn around)
But every sign
Every light
Leads me straight to you somehow (somehow)

Chorus
This is where we always end up
Same laugh spilling over paper cups
Same eyes saying “I can’t give this up”
You and me
Every time we catch up
Doesn’t matter where the plans fade out
Every road somehow finds this town
Every turn
Every twist
Every what-if doubt
This is where we always
Where we always
Where we always end up
