lyrics

Why's it always gotta come down to it
Raised up like I always knew it
Oh, I let my voice be heard
'Cause I've always been that girl
Always been...
Why's it always gotta come down to it
Raised the bar, yeah
Try and try to get through it
In the end, when is it enough

Gotta go, get out on that open road
Where the sky is clear and bright
Got the roads to ourselves
For miles of the unknown
With nowhere to go

Why's it always gotta make wonder
Turning those wheels
Baby, light becomes before the thunder
Why's it always gotta come down to it
Turning from page to page
Running from myself
Just to keep up with the pace

Gotta go, get out on that open road
Where the sky is clear and bright
Got the roads to ourselves
For miles of the unknown
With nowhere to go

You and me and all the places we've seen
All the places we'll only see in dreams
You and me going where we want to be
Once we're out there being free
