Vast Horizon

Propped up from the backseat
"This road is terrible," you repeat
And I couldn't agree more
But just out of spite I lock the door
And I stare out at my vast horizon and its rosy hue
And I'm trying hard to ignore the fact
That I can't see past the next five minutes with you
Oh no, what's a girl to do
Casino style celebration
Here's to one year, you wanna press your luck
"How much does this fun cost," I ask
And you just say "how much you got"
You're waiting for your future to line up
To see what that next quarter holds
I didn't read the rules I just signed up
Used to be the definition of bold
Now there's this vast horizon and its rosy hue
And I'm trying hard to ignore the fact
That I can't see past the next five minutes with you
What's a girl to do
I wrote this all in the dark, letting my ego and pain lead the way
Angry words fighting my own heart, minefields abound
All you needed was time to stumble on the wrong thing to say
We're smack-dab in the middle of a calendar
Where every inhale and exhale is planned
I guess I got sucked into the vibe
And I forgot that this is not my native land
What happened to the joy of not knowing
In fact you couldn't be better off
Bumpy road, we'll bounce along
Take a turn and laugh while you're lost
Still, there's this vast horizon and its rosy hue
And I bask in the fact that I
Oh, I can't see past the next five minutes with you
I can't see past the next five minutes with you
What's a girl to do
Except love you
What's a girl to do except love you
What's a girl to do
