On nights like this, I ride
Turn the music up to keep from crying
Wait ’til that sunshine
Please don’t let the darkness keep me low
Halfway to the home base, yeah
Like a field …
If you thew the party
And invited everyone you knew
You want to see the biggest skit [?] for me
And the [?] would say
Thank you for being a friend
[Verse 1]
I count on …
So, we wanna stay
But can’t find peace while sittin’ still
I guess we never will
We run the way
We won’t hurry back again
The journey has began
Oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I love this very moment
We’re speedin’ up, …
Whose clothes are you stealing at night
Who’s calling you baby
Who’s loving you lately
Do you think of me
Am I on your mind
Who’s calling you baby
Who’s loving you lately
[Chorus]
Who’s loving you
Who’s loving …
Aye, yeah, yeah, yeah….
[Verse 1]
You’ve been down, you’ve been sad
Always run away when you’re mad
So, I’ll pretend you’re chasing your dreams
You’ve been cold, you’ve been ice
I know deep inside that …
I could slow down
Waste away in this town
Standing on the sidewalk
Watching this parade1
Or we could get out
Pack our suitcase right now2
Find ourselves a bus stop3
Make our own way!4
Cause it feel like I’ve been here forever5
Afraid to be my father, and afraid to leave him too!6
But it’s my name I painted on the doorway7
Tells me where I came from and what I gotta do!8
Whatever this goes (goes)
No matter how far (far)
Baby, you are the song9 that’s written in our heart10
Whatever we stand, wherever we fall
Don’t matter at all, cause I will be forever yours11
From this moment till the day curtains close12
Wherever this goes!13
So we’re here now
Finally found our way out14
On the road to some place
Some place that we don’t know!15
But it’s alright, keep on driving all night
Straight on to till morning, I know its a way to go16
Cause it feel like we’ve been here forever
I don’t how much further and where we’re going to17
But it’s our name I painted on the doorway
It doesn’t say where we came from, and what we gotta do
Oh, oh, oh whatever this goes (goes)
No matter how far (far)
Baby, you are the song that’s written in our heart
Whatever we stand, wherever we fall
Don’t matter at all, cause I will be forever yours
From this moment till the day curtains close
Don’t matter at all, cause I will be forever yours
Wherever this goes!
No matter how far, baby you are the song it’s written on my heart
Wherever we stand, wherever we fall
Don’t matter at all, cause I will be forever yours
From this moment till the day curtains close
Don’t matter at all, cause I will be forever yours
Wherever this goes18
The Fray opens “Break Your Plans” singing about the possibilities of spending one’s whole life in the same place.
Alternatively, The Fray suggests the possibility of living a spontaneous, transient, and adventurous life.
“Find ourselves a bus stop” means “find a distant place to settle down.”
“Make our own way” means not conforming to the status quo.
When one remains in the same place for a pro-longed period of time, he or she becomes sick and tired of that place.
One often thinks of the unknown future with great fear. Being the same as one’s predecessors and being different than them are both scary thoughts.
To paint one’s name on a doorway is to claim one’s territory as his own home.
The Fray believes that one’s sense of home gives him a sense of purpose and identity.
A romantic relationship should be prioritized, even if it has the capacity to crumble.
“Our heart” signifies the romantic unity that the couple shares.
When one is engaged deeply in a loving relationship, all of the details in life seem much more trivial.
“The day curtains close” is the day of one’s death.
The Fray is committed to journeying into the unknown.
A sense of calling and purpose has been discovered outside of their dull hometown.
The Fray likes the idea of adventuring out into the world without a sense of a destination.
Journeying into the unknown of the future is no easy task. It is a big commitment.
The future is uncertain.
This final stanza of “Break Your Plans” tells listeners that no matter what experiences one encounters in life, those experiences will seem relatively trivial if one has shared life together with another person.
