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
Finally free to love and leave this land
I know they see it in some ways
as just another routine runaway
From the girl who couldn’t stand to stay in one place
But running ‘away from’ and ‘into’
are two completely different ways to get on through
You pull me like the right was meant
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
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
Finally free to love and leave this land
I know they see it in some ways
as just another routine runaway
From the girl who couldn’t stand to stay in one place
But running ‘away from’ and ‘into’
are two completely different ways to get on through
You pull me like the right was meant
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

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."

I listened to a lot of Steve Lawson's music before buying any. So easy to play in the background while browsing on the iPad. So many moods and good to hear it coming as played live. He gets a lot from a bass and its in HD flac. It was time to catch up on buying...
