Lyrics:
I thought I understood, but I could never tell.
The tighter that I turned, the less my fingers felt.
I fought the memories with all my energy.
I tried to tourniquet. I made a mess of it.
Don’t stop me now. Don’t slow me down. I’m on the way.
Night driving till I’m out of pills, and out of shame.
I think it follows me, still hear it in my dreams:
the way the tires screamed, the smell of gasoline.
And since you froze in time, and learned to be a mime,
I’m getting older while the people pass me by.
Don’t stop me now. Don’t slow me down. I’m on the way.
Night driving till I’m out of pills, and you’re to blame.
I’ve been sinking deeper in your chair, talking to a gap between the air.
Asking if, knowing now, you would shift, slow it down.
Even if you knew how, would it end like that night?
Would you still bet your life?
