Cruise Control

We drive in silence wondering if radio can drown us out
I sing I love you just so you can hear the words come out my mouth
All these fantasies of us pave a highway in the clouds
But I watch the GPS and this car always goes a different route
And we drive

And baby if we go too fast
This surge is never gonna last
You pump the brakes as you lean back
But we've got cruise control for that
I have my hope up on the dash
We're only halfway on the gas
Cause once we speed we can't turn back
But we've got cruise control for that

We watch the street lights in a blur passing exits in between
I'd take the scenic route but can we stand delayed velocity?
Don't watch the rearview mirror or all our past mistakes will intervene
And keep your focus cause these mirrored fears are closer than they seem

And baby if we go too fast
This surge is never gonna last
You pump the brakes as you lean back
But we've got cruise control for that
I have my hope up on the dash
We're only halfway on the gas
Cause once we speed we can't turn back
But we've got cruise control for that

And I pull off to the side of the road
Shift the gear and engine slowed
Eye to eye I pull you close
Are we setting this cruise control?
I'm tired of going nowhere fast
Fearing that this tank won't last
But I'd drive with you through the darkest night
Now the horizon has the sun in sight
And we've got cruise control for that
Now the horizon has the sun in sight
And we've got cruise control for that
The horizon has the sun in sight
And we drive

And I want to go this fast
My heart rate on the dash
Foot heavy on the gas
Yeah we got cruise control for that
