    Story Behind the Song
    The title is tentative.
    I found a demo of the main riffs I'd recorded a year ago and forgotten about. I listened and was like, "That's really good." Lyrics soon followed.

    Lyrics
    Through all this, life is
    a current, a tide,
    a spectrum
    and everything’s gray.
    We’re too old to throw dishes
    and too young
    to run away,
    so we’re talking.
    And we promise to change, we try to change.
    This compromise: a win, a loss.
    To get away, to get away,
    to see it all new.
    (chorus)
    I miss Arizona.
    I miss Las Vegas.
    I miss the thousands of miles of
    unspoiled beaches
    that never lead to the sea.

    You get mad and you
    say things you don’t
    mean, then you’re
    sorry.
    I get hurt and I
    shut up, a myste-
    ry. And I’m
    sorry. That’s not fair.
    And we promise to change, we try to change.
    This compromise: a win, a loss.
    To get away, to get away,
    to see it all new.
    (chorus)
    Through all this,
    life with you is
    a beautiful challenge.
