I used to draw everything
I lived in all-day-long daydreams
I drew my mother's markers dry
An early way of getting high
I drew the dogs' hardwood sprawl
Warm obstructions in the hall
I only captured what I could
But I think I was getting pretty good
I was getting pretty good

And when I set my pencil down
Decades later in a different town
I left a trail of tired lines
That no straight edge could ever guide
I spoke to the city and it spoke back
"It ain't latitude you lack
What lies here is no less true
It ain't all just built for you"

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I wanna live like that
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I want a love that looks back

So add a single asterisk
For every exit sign I missed
Little stars to remind
Loose ends that I left untied
So when you're ground-down and grey
In those gradient weekdays
Just remember the gift
Is that you get to keep doing it

Settle down, this shouldn't take too long
Draw it out 'til the highway days are gone
Mirrored towns, connections holding strong
Hold on

I used to draw everything
I lived in all-day-long daydreams

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I wanna live like that
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Yeah, I want a love that looks back
I want a love that looks back
I want a love that looks back
Yeah, I want a love that looks back
