Makena Tate - Dead End Lyrics

There's a dead end sign at the end of your street
Where I used to pick you up a couple times a week
And you said with me you'd never felt so alive
Made me wanna step on the gas, turn up the music, and drive
In your backyard there's a fence with a door
It didn't go anywhere and you missed the metaphor
You didn't notice that it went somewhere I didn't wanna go
I didn't ask because I didn't wanna know
Tracing my footprints in time
To that time
When you were mine
And that was fine
I was fine
But we were burning so slow
And I know you know
Without air not much can grow
It isn't right to say the things I don't feel
I knew then that you and I weren't the real deal
We were at a dead end
And I just can't pretend
There's a dead end sign in my rear view mirror
My engine is loud, but the music is all I can hear
I'm sorry for leaving you back at your childhood home
But the road feels right driving all on my own
Tracing my footprints in time
To that time
When you were mine
And that was fine
I was fine
But we were burning so slow
And I know you know
Without air not much can grow
Without air not much can grow
Without air not much can grow
