vermont Lyrics

Somewhere in a shiny town

That we have never seen

There's a pretty house in a neighborhood

Where the grass is always green

The children laugh and ride their bikes

Down the perfect empty street

And they race back when they're called home

To come sit down for dinner

I wanna live in Vermont

I wanna have the life that we talked about

I wanna get a dog

I wanna work my ass off

And buy us a house

I wanna leave right now

Get on a plane

And get out of this sleepy old town

I wanna move to Vermont

Start a new life

And finally settle down

Somewhere in a universe

That we have never been

There's a version of our lives

Where we stuck through thick and thin

Where I never had to meet you

In the parking lot that day

Where I never had to say goodbye

'Cause you never went away

And we moved to Vermont

We got the life that we talked about

We got a dog

Worked our asses off

And bought a house

Saved up over summer

Made it there by the time

The snow was falling down

Retiring in Vermont

Two grown kids

And a dusty old wedding gown

But it's all in my head

I daydream too much

Way more than I should

It's all in my head

I shoulda known

You were too true to be good
