HOLIDAYS

[Verse 1] You packed your books in a borrowed car Said "Don't wait up You know how you are" Your mom cried quiet on the porch that night I laughed too loud just to feel alright [Chorus] You took the high road I took the low You found a sky I found a hole We had the same map Different turns in the code You took the high road I took the low [Verse 2] You sent a postcard from some coast town I missed the date and I let you down Hung it crooked over unpaid bills Told my friends I was fine But I'm standing still [Chorus] You took the high road I took the low You found a sky I found a hole We had the same map Different turns in the code You took the high road I took the low [Bridge] Maybe someday on a two-lane line We'll pull off Trade stories Trade some time You'll say "I always hoped you'd show" I'll say "I'm learning how to let this go" [Chorus] You took the high road I took the low You kept your promise I broke my own We had the same map Different turns in the code You took the high road I took the low (yeah, I took the low)
