[Verse 1]
Summer in the back row
Cheek on the cool glass
Counting every mailbox
Watching all the fields pass
Mom’s voice on a crossword
Dad laughs
Misses a turn
Sister with her headphones
I can still feel the burn of the sun
[Chorus]
I remember family vacations
Bus seats
Sideways sun
Crumbs on the floor and our shoes all undone
Never knew that “are we there yet?”
Was a song I’d one day hum
Safe and happy in that rolling home
Now the years just run
[Verse 2]
Card games on the tray tables
Sharing one old pen
Staring at the highway signs
Guessing where
Guessing when
Pulled into a small town
Shared fries
Cherry ice
You said
“this will last forever”
Funny how forever’s just a slice
[Chorus]
I remember family vacations
Bus seats
Sideways sun
Crumbs on the floor and our shoes all undone
Never knew that “are we there yet?”
Was a song I’d one day hum
Safe and happy in that rolling home
Now the years just run
[Bridge]
Time flies by so quickly
But it circles back in dreams
Every mile
Every silly fight
Shows up in these quiet scenes (oh oh)
[Chorus]
I remember family vacations
Bus seats
Sideways sun
Crumbs on the floor and our shoes all undone
Never knew that “are we there yet?”
Was a song I’d one day hum
Safe and happy in that rolling home
Now the years just run
Now the years just run
