Normal, the EP named after Higdon's hometown in central Illinois, is currently unavailable. We have big dreams here in Higdonland, so be on the lookout for a new, mastered edition of the EP to coincide with the release of the new CD later this year.

Normal

Loop of the highway horseshoes the town.

I've been wanting to fly away

But this car just keeps rolling on the ground.

Turning the dial, trying to find the frequency.

Just a few more miles

And I'll be tuning in some consistency.

With every hour I drive I feel you peeled off of me layer by layer.

I've been trying to get down to something Normal

And I'm almost there.

Every one of these drives

I swear is my last.

How much of my life will I sacrifice

To protect you from your past?

True love is a child's love,

Everybody knows.

But being with you, the innocence seems to be the first thing that has to go.

This thing could go almost anywhere

If you would only start to care.

So the next time you get back to Normal

Look me up while you're there.

You can call it my fault,

Say that love is like the leaves in the Fall.

This town is shaking free of it all,

and they call that Normal.

I'm a King for a day.

They've been saying it's the end of my reign,

and you're the drama Queen that got away.

They say that's Normal

It's so Normal.

I'll be catching the broadcast,

Catching up with my old friends.

From the first song to the last, you get to believing it could never end.

But I've got a hunch that the years will keep rushing past,

And the things that seem to be so important

Will become so insignificant I've got to laugh.

With every hour I drive

I feel you peeled off of me layer by layer

By the time I get back to Normal,

there isn't much there.
