Texas to Ohio

from the window to the doorway
this is the way we planned our escape
five miles of road, three hours of conversation
my feet & ears could only take so much

from texas to ohio is too long a walk
even if it's with someone you love
five miles in the walk you already want to do them in

through the heat & humidity
my mind keeps going back to the first time i met you
how weeks after dating, i could never get ahold of you

'i don't know where she's at
you should try calling back tomorrow'

from the window to the threshhold
this is the way we learn from our mistakes
you leave all your friends for someone you think you love

through the for the better and the worse
my mind keeps going back to the first time i met you
how weeks after dating, i could never get ahold of you

'i don't know where she's at
you should try calling back tomorrow'
