I-45 Northbound Songtext

This is a place I probably shouldn't be.
(But don't run away.)
This is a place I never should have gone.
(No, stay right here please.)
This is a place I really shouldn't see.
(Just don't stay, no)
This is a place where I should never have gone.
(You've been here much too long.)

Take me back to where I was in your arms downtown
Where nothing was shouted loud.
Take me back to way back when we weren't opposites.
You promised this wouldn't end.

These mountainous street lights pave our way.
They blind us and keep you away.
They shine so bright to push me through.
These memories are overcast.
I'll remember them much too soon.
