Subdivisions Piano Version by The Weather Station Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got in the car and the cold metallic scent of snow
Caught in my throat as I reached out to turn on the radio
The unfamiliar songs, the voices sing of love
And of wanting to dance and to sing in the rhythm of
[Chorus 1]
The road was overwhelmed with snow piled high in all the ditches
I drove as though I did not understand all the divisions
The yellow signs and the painted lines
And the order they envisioned was so clear
[Verse 2]
I joined the steady line of cars on the highway
As though I was going home, but I drove the wrong way
Past thе looming walls of subdivisions
Out past the strip malls, white fields, and gas stations
[Chorus 2]
I wantеd just to call you then, but still I knew I couldn’t
I left you back at home because I simply could not do it
Tell you I could be with you when I could see right through it
Our whole life
[Bridge]
But what if I misjudged
In the wildest of emotion?
I took this way too far
[Chorus 3]
The highway disembodied from the rest of my experience
A narrow band of ice that stretched across the disappearance
Of the central plan, the guiding hand
The keeping-up appearance of a life
[Outro]
But what if I misjudged
In the wildest of emotion?
What if I misjudged
In the wildest of emotion?
Did I take this way too far?
Got in the car and the cold metallic scent of snow
Caught in my throat as I reached out to turn on the radio
The unfamiliar songs, the voices sing of love
And of wanting to dance and to sing in the rhythm of
[Chorus 1]
The road was overwhelmed with snow piled high in all the ditches
I drove as though I did not understand all the divisions
The yellow signs and the painted lines
And the order they envisioned was so clear
[Verse 2]
I joined the steady line of cars on the highway
As though I was going home, but I drove the wrong way
Past thе looming walls of subdivisions
Out past the strip malls, white fields, and gas stations
[Chorus 2]
I wantеd just to call you then, but still I knew I couldn’t
I left you back at home because I simply could not do it
Tell you I could be with you when I could see right through it
Our whole life
[Bridge]
But what if I misjudged
In the wildest of emotion?
I took this way too far
[Chorus 3]
The highway disembodied from the rest of my experience
A narrow band of ice that stretched across the disappearance
Of the central plan, the guiding hand
The keeping-up appearance of a life
[Outro]
But what if I misjudged
In the wildest of emotion?
What if I misjudged
In the wildest of emotion?
Did I take this way too far?
