Over Before It Starts

I couldn't help but notice it when I walked it
The watermarks on the table where you like to sit
Always in a hurry even when you planned the trip
You scribbled directions on the back of a napkin

The ink was faint, but we knew where it led
Northbound on 35, pass the fire tower in Dorset

So predictable but who could blame you
We've only got a couple of weeks left to enjoy this view
That Muskoka air's been calling since Sam last packed the Kee
It'll be over before it starts
It'll be over before it starts, yeah, grab the keys

Stock the car up with essentials, we can stop for the rest
Passenger you've got a job to do, play the soundtrack in my head
Skipping all the traffic cause we knew where the back roads led
Strayed far and wide but always found our way to the same old beds

There's just something about the way it bends
When you're northbound on 35 and pass the fire tower in Dorset

That cool breeze off the lake
Those late-night fires, barely awake
Flashing lights across the bay
It's the little things that make it what it is
Like when you're northbound on 35 and pass the fire tower in Dorset
