Beth and I driving to Island Park
I don't know the way
It's got something to do with Depot or Fuller by the hospital buildings
She navigates, I just make the mixtapes
I wanna sit in the passenger seat of a Pontiac Sunfire or Mercury Villager
Don't know the way, I don't know the way
Mildly ashamed but drifting in space
Escape without a cost
Arrival without direction
Wastelands to ride across
Horizons for my selection
A printout from Mapquest guides me as I pull up to our house in February
She gets in the car and I hide the paper
I graduate a few months later

Watching Star Wars at the neighbor's
We kill piñatas with lightsabers
Escape without a cost
Arrival without direction
Starscapes to float across
Horizons for our selection
In the morning, I'm still dozing
You take the wheel
I'll go anywhere you wanna drive me to
Watching Star Wars ten years later
When I should be grading papers
Refuge comes at a cost
Outside the real world beckons
The windows have fallen dark
and fear distorts perspective
Early morning, cats are dozing
You take the wheel
I'll press snooze if you press snooze
The world is safe from view
Cause every time the sun is rising
Horizons beyond horizons
Even when the day is dying
Horizons beyond horizons

The prairie was alive
The prairie died
Amtrak morning, Wolverine service
Gary vomits, cornfields forfeit
Ye olde dorms pass, cereal smokestacks
Back to Depot, up the hill
To where you're waiting for information
In a white room your dad is dreaming
Blue socks with the medical grip
Alarm bells that say, "Time to continue living"
When the driver's eyes get heavy,
It's time to shake the passenger
I wash my mother's hair
You brush your father's hair
We walk down Fuller Drive
We learn to navigate the hospital hallways
'Cause every time the sun is rising
Horizons beyond horizons
Even when the day is dying
Horizons beyond horizons
