Weekend Away (Live)
(Lyrics and music by Jeremy Facknitz, copyright 2025 ASCAP all rights reserved)

VS. 1
We turned the volume down halfway
from 11 to 5
dropped our baggage and waited for the words to arrive
We've been burning the wick at each end
'til there's nothing to light
Why the hell should we expect a conversation tonight?

PRE CHORUS 1
Our brains are bufferin'
our bond is sufferin'
but these weekends away come few and too far between

CHORUS 1
So we're here to commit
even though it appears that we're ready to quit
I'm stuck in minor but you move to the major
crackin' one-liners like a goofy teenager
I follow your lead
And before we both know it
we're laughing so hard
and though we don't always show it
our love's alive beneath the day-to-day grindin'
We only need remindin'

VS. 2
Why do we sail the complacency?
Ride the waves of ennui,
and anchor down to the sad secluded islands of me?
Well there's nobody to blame
and still we're ready to fight
when days go by without so much as one kiss goodnight

PRE CHORUS 2
We're not defeated
we're just depleted
and a weekend away is bound to wipe the slate clean

CHORUS 2
So we're here to commit
even though it appears that we're ready to quit
Your stuck in minor but I move to the major
crackin' one-liners like a goofy teenager
you follow my lead
And before we both know it
we're laughing so hard
and though we don't always show it
our love's alive beneath the day-to-day grindin'

BRIDGE
and it feels good to hold this precious gift
let's stay here for a while

CHORUS 3
No matter who takes the lead
before we both know it
we're loving so big and though we don't always show it
we're still alive beneath the day-to-day grindin'
we only need remindin'
Sometimes we need remindin'
