We called it a party
Even though everybody was sad
We showed up with some coffee
Started movin' at 7am
You were havin' trouble sleepin'
I was having trouble keepin' still
When we talk it's like a meeting
Full of budgets and utility bills
Drivin' on the highway home
We made a deal when we started
And we knew it would take some work
Everyday was like a party
And livin' life with no concern
I remember the feeling
Of driving to my parents' place
I lean on in to kiss you
See the gap-toothed smile on your face
Driving on the highway home
You and I always laughed at the system
I don't wanna be just another statistic we said those things
All those years ago
I read some things I shouldn't have seen
And you look like you've given up trying
You think I don't care when you walk in the room
Katie just tell me now what can I do
And Driving on a highway home
When the road starts to bend, and the signal ends, and all the static's coming through
I think about the things you said
They all go in my head, I'm alone 'cause I know it's true
In the passenger seat
