| Everyone has a moment where you want to get away from everything. This song just makes you feel that trip. One of the best songs of saves the day. Its melodically pure perfection. The way he sings it makes it much more emotional. | |

| Chris wrote the song about wanting to be home from college, but I think it can be percieved in a number of ways :). A lot of times, I'm at a party or school or any social gathering, and I'm just so disgusted with people or whatever that I'd just rather be at home...missing my mom, who's a figure of good :)...wanting to just drive. Wanting to "get...as far as far can be, get...away from tonight." Y'get me? Yeah. :). | |
