There comes a day you sneak out but you don't go home
Where you're out past the streetlights
running down the road and your daddy won't know
It hurts to grow up, when your knees are still cut
But for us, life's never been without blood

Getting life's cold goodbye wave from the dark of the driveway
Crying, I'm no good at goodbyes, so I leave it to the lights
Can you just tell me which way I'm driving
Interstate or the highway, I'm going, I'm ready

There comes a day you find out that you don't wanna die
They'll say it's time you finally grew up
you've been gone for quite a while
but they'll never ask you why
They ask how it felt to suffocate myself
But not everything feels like something else

Getting life's cold goodbye wave from the dark of the driveway
Crying, I'm no good at goodbyes, so I leave it to the lights
Can you just tell me which way I'm driving
Interstate or the highway, I'm going, I'm ready

20 'til midnight at gas stations
Praying to a stranger's dogs in the parking lot
I asked have I done enough for salvation
They said you'll die if you leave it up to God
Said I've been drinking from this river 'til I bled it dry
But they looked me dead in my eyes and said
It doesn't matter if the grass is greener on the other side
As long as it's alive

So give it one last goodbye wave, in the light of the highway
Crying, I'm no good at goodbyes, but I've waited my whole life
So you just tell me which way I'm driving
Interstate or the highway, we're going, we're ready
