Subdivisions

Got in the car and the cold metallic scent of snow
 Caught in my throat as I reached out to turn on the radio
 The unfamiliar songs, the voices sing of love
 And of wanting to dance and to sing in the rhythm of
 The road was overwhelmed with snow piled high in all the ditches
 I drove as though I did not understand all the divisions
 The yellow signs and the painted lines
 And the order they envisioned was so clear
 I joined the steady line of cars on the highway
 As though I was going home, but I drove the wrong way
 Past thе looming walls of subdivisions
 Out past the strip malls, white fields, and gas stations
 I wantеd just to call you then, but still I knew I couldn't
 I left you back at home because I simply could not do it
 Tell you I could be with you when I could see right through it
 Our whole life
 But what if I misjudged
 In the wildest of emotion?
 I took this way too far
 The highway disembodied from the rest of my experience
 A narrow band of ice that stretched across the disappearance
 Of the central plan, the guiding hand
 The keeping-up appearance of a life
 ♪
 But what if I misjudged
 In the wildest of emotion?
 What if I misjudged
 ♪
 In the wildest of emotion?
 Did I take this way too far?
