	Story Behind the Song This song is about the first time that I allowed myself to take down my guard and to give myself completely to another person. It's about being able to retain your independence while simultaneously devoting yourself to a relationship with someone else. And, of course, it's about the stomach-dropping stage of falling in love (what song isn't, really?) and inviting the other person into my life. Lyrics The trees dance violently at the side of the road It's 3 am and I'm speeding home I roll the windows down and I scream: 'I just can't take this anymore' But there's a picture of you on my dashboard I've got this urge in me that keeps me gone I never like to stay in one place for very long I'm a fierce independent I am liberated and free But your figure in the rearview mirror It breaks my heart to see CHORUS: So pack your bags, dear We'll leave our taillights in the rain In the movie of my life That scene's the most common frame I live with intensity Tucked just below the surface of a mystery But really I think We're both the same There's something about you that keeps my spirit alive I find myself smiling, I'm laughing all of the time There's a new slight dance in my step Walkin' down the street And I slip in stories about you To every stranger I meet CHORUS: So pack your bags, dear We'll leave our taillights in the rain In the movie of my life That scene's the most common frame I live with intensity Tucked just below the surface of a mystery But really I think We're both the same There's something about us that's fresh and new each day And that's what I've been searching for All this time away Unexpected describes everything you do You made your mark Now I'm throwing down my anchor in you CHORUS (rev.): Don't pack your bags, dear No need for taillights in the rain In the movie of our life I'll share with you my every frame We'll live with intensity Tucked just below the surface of our mystery Cause really I think We're both the same The trees dance gracefully at the side of the road You kiss me through the window And say: 'Girl, I'm so glad you're home.'
