We drove to the mountains looking for an escape
And swearing out the windows we were sick of this place
But when we got there I found a new space to run from

You stayed in my brain, filed away
And I wasn't saving you for a rainy day
But your face and the elevation
Made it hard to breathe

The crystal clear skies
Brought out your heartbroken eyes
And in the process somehow
Clouded mine

I finally fleed my blood-soaked dreams
Just to enter a new crime scene
I tried not to leave a path in my grief
But now I'm mourning you and me

In every past dream you were so sweet to me
But the blinding morning sun's made it so hard to see
I couldn't recall what I saw when I was sleeping ignorantly
So why did the mountains make me feel so small?
I'd make this a game but I'm too tired to stand tall
Plus my mind is telling me that
You have got it all

The crystal clear skies
Brought out your heartbroken eyes
And in the process somehow
Clouded mine

I finally fleed my blood-soaked dreams
Just to enter a new crime scene
I try not to leave a path in my grief
But now I'm mourning you and me
I was finally freed but my heart likes to bluff
It started putting me in handcuffs
And in the final scene you'll leave
And that's rough
And now I'll never know if I could be enough

Mountains
Mountains
Oh, oh
Mountains
Now I'll never know if I could be enough for you
Mountains
Mountains
Oh, oh
Mountains
Now I'll never know if I could be enough

We drove to the mountains looking for an escape
And swearing out the windows we were sick of this place
But when we got there I found a new space to run from
