lyrics
Believe me I know that things can get bad
Sometimes I feel like I’m over my head
Since the day I was born my life's been so absurd
The one thing that saves me is something you said
Chorus:
It’s all a bad idea that I’m about to do
The future’s meaningless but I will follow through
I will follow through
I pray for the strength at the end of my days
To strike the match that will set this place ablaze
I've missed every moment to just walk away
When the whole world's on fire I'll have to be brave
(Chorus)
I drive in my car and I talk to myself
Alone on the road with the gas and the brakes
I stay on the highway until I can think
Three thousand miles is all that it takes
And one day you and everyone will start to see the way
I’m a driving prodigy I don’t care what you say
The cops can try to catch me I can try to get away
The peak of evolution or a self-destructive game
One night I drove to the side of a bridge
The Hackensack river was waiting below
I saw my reflection it made me feel sick
But I couldn't manage to let myself go
(Chorus)
Sometimes I feel like I’m over my head
Since the day I was born my life's been so absurd
The one thing that saves me is something you said
Chorus:
It’s all a bad idea that I’m about to do
The future’s meaningless but I will follow through
I will follow through
I pray for the strength at the end of my days
To strike the match that will set this place ablaze
I've missed every moment to just walk away
When the whole world's on fire I'll have to be brave
(Chorus)
I drive in my car and I talk to myself
Alone on the road with the gas and the brakes
I stay on the highway until I can think
Three thousand miles is all that it takes
And one day you and everyone will start to see the way
I’m a driving prodigy I don’t care what you say
The cops can try to catch me I can try to get away
The peak of evolution or a self-destructive game
One night I drove to the side of a bridge
The Hackensack river was waiting below
I saw my reflection it made me feel sick
But I couldn't manage to let myself go
(Chorus)
