about

“Routine Runaway is an attempt to capture what it felt like for me to drive away from my home in BC with my husband of 2 days⎯on our honeymoon across the border, but essentially on our way to England, where we would land a week later to start a life together. It was an epically emotional time, leaving my family and the Rockies, but mostly, it was bliss.

Creating the new mix of the song for radio was a real learning pleasure. The album (Fire-lives) version is very alive⎯recording everyone at once in our house made sure of that⎯but there’s a lot to be gained by having more control over individual elements and being able to treat the arrangement with a sensitivity and thoughtfulness that I think helps bring out the heart of the song. I can actually be a stickler for detail when the opportunity is there and there’s something satisfying about making something just the way you want it, without, of course, dissecting it to death.”

lyrics

Open the window and breathe in - I can’t believe we’re finally leaving
It’s just the way I always dreamed it, always
I got you, you got me, we promised, there’s nothing left but to get on this
if the car breaks down we’ll pawn it

We could drive a million miles tonight
I could not be further gone than here in your sweet eyes as we’re kissing at the stoplight

And I’ve left this town more times than I can think of
But I never cared less where I was headed to than on my way out with you love
Oh and every day your love takes me far away, and I’m OK that you’re my
routine run run runaway

The first time I met you I left you make believing things we could get up to
The places we’d go doing what we loved to
A year gone and married a day in and we’re leaving everything for England
Like I never came awake from dreaming
You say I’m brave to come away but understand
I will be at home wherever I have you in my hands
You keep me safe like nothing else can
