Lyrics

Left the keys on the kitchen counter
Didn't leave a note this time
Screen door slammed like punctuation
On a sentence I couldn't write
Highway sign says "northbound lanes"
Like it's daring me to choose
I don't know what's waiting there
But I know what I'll lose if I don't move
Not running scared, just done standing still
There's a line in the road I'm ready to cross
Northbound, I don't need a reason
Just a little space and a change of season
Miles between what I was and now
That's enough to figure it out
Northbound, let the past get smaller
Rearview fades, I let it go
Not chasing anything I can name
Just heading somewhere that ain't the same
Gas stop coffee, cheap and bitter
Guy at the counter says "long way out"
I just nod, don't fill the silence
Some things don't need talking about
Radio flips through half-known songs
Every word hits different now
Like every word was written for this road
And the space I'm carving out
No clean break, no perfect line
Just a quiet shift in state of mind
Northbound, I don't need a reason
Just a little space and a change of season
Miles between what I was and now
That's enough to figure it out
Northbound, let the past get smaller
Rearview fades like it should
Not chasing anything I can name
Just heading somewhere that ain't the same
Maybe I circle back, maybe I don't
Maybe I land where I said I won't
But right now the road's wide open
And that's all I need to know
Northbound, I don't need a reason
Just a little space and a change of season
Miles between what I was and now
That's enough to figure it out
Northbound, let the past get smaller
Rearview fades, I'm already through
Not chasing anything I can name
Just heading somewhere that ain't the same
White lines ticking under worn-out tires
Didn't solve a thing
But the road's getting wider
