Started out looking for a love that was straight Like a highway that knows where it's going But everything straight can turn brittle and break So you sweep the mistakes away And you end up with An emergency contact A love that bends and braces The breakdown ends The melody comes back To what it was In the beginning Two exits till I'm home Whistling the notes that we sang Ooooh You end up with An elaborate timeline A love that waits And listens The roads aren't straight They're covered in white lines That draw you out Into the distance You end up with An emergency contact A love that bends And braces The breakdown ends The melody comes back To what it was In the beginning
