about

A song about escapism, fading nostalgia, and how it all can lead to a lot of self pity.

lyrics

V1:
Fast shadows pass across her face
Trees flashing on windowpanes

But this dark place
Many miles from grace
Drinks in the neon daze

So here she’ll stay
As she runs away
Oh she runs
Yeah, she runs

Chorus:
You can say it’s not the freeway
But you’re on it every day

V2:
That girl speaks in the sweetest tone
Now feelings get warm then escape

To the grey, into the great unknown
She’s slipping between every space that he’s made of so…

Chorus:
You can say it’s not the freeway
But you’re on it every day

Bridge:
Dappled memories are starting to wave around their heads as they sway into it easily

Chorus:
You can say it’s not the freeway
But you’re on it every day
Steady rollin’ like it’s free, babe
But you’ll be paying on the tolls, eventually
