[Intro]
Mm-mm (Hey)
Hey
Mm-mm (Hey)
[Verse 1]
Why we livin' every day in circles?
Just burnin' out, burnin' out
I don't wanna just go through the motions
Goin' round and round
It's takin' us down
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't buyin' this life's gotta be such a mother (Oh-oh-oh)
'Cause we kinda got it all when we got each other (Oh-oh)
You and me used to be like a year-round summer (Oh-oh-oh)
Let's go back
Oh, hit the gas
[Chorus]
In a straight line, baby
Hey, whatcha say we're never gonna look back now?
Can't you see the sun shinin'?
You and me drivin' out from under this dark cloud
I wanna know what they mean
When they say life's a dream
Shouldn't we be dreamin' it too?
In a straight line, baby
Startin' now, takin' a straight line (Straight line)
Straight into forever with you
Yeah, with you
[Verse 2]
Finally leavin' Hotel California
Couple runaways in a getaway car
Remember when this kinda high was us, babe?
I wanna feel that way
I wanna feel that way now
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's trade the past in the fadin' rearview
(Let's trade the past in the fadin' rearview)
For the good life comin' in the windshield clear view (Oh-oh-oh)
Anywhere, girl, you wanna disappear to
(Anywhere, girl, you wanna disappear to)
I wanna go there too
I wanna go there with you, yeah
[Chorus]
In a straight line, baby
Hey, whatcha say we're never gonna look back now?
Can't you see the sun shinin'?
You and me drivin' out from under this dark cloud
I wanna know what they mean
When they say life's a dream
Shouldn't we be dreamin' it too?
In a straight line, baby
Startin' now, takin' a straight line (Straight line)
Straight into forever with you
[Bridge]
I ain't buyin' this life's gotta be such a mother
'Cause we kinda got it all when we got each other
You and me used to be like a year-round summer
Let's go back (Go back, go back, go back)
Let's go back, hit the gas (Go back)
[Chorus]
In a straight line, baby
Hey, whatcha say we're never gonna look back now?
Can't you see the sun shinin'?
You and me drivin' out from under this dark cloud
[Post-Chorus]
In a straight line
(Straight line, straight line)
Mm-mm
(Straight into forever)
Oh, baby
(Straight into forever)
You've been a straight line, baby
(Straight line, straight line)
(Straight into forever, straight into forever)
[Outro]
I ain't buyin' this life's gotta be such a mother (Straight line, straight line)
'Cause we kinda got it all when we got each other (Straight into forever, straight into forever)
You and me used to be like a year-round summer (Straight line, straight line)
Let's go back, oh (Straight into forever, straight into forever)

‘Straight Line’ is the perfect first track off my album because it’s a song born of wanting to break out of routine and feeling like somewhere along the line, life lost some color and excitement – ‘You and me used to be like a year-round summer…’ This song is about getting it back again – a message...
