Are you awake?
It’s just you me and the road,
a conversation we put off too long.
Are you OK?
Cause I think I may explode.
I know I’m right that doesn’t mean you’re wrong.
We were young and clueless, trying to find our place.
We always took our shots.
We learned to swing away.
I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t easy.
You can paint me as the fool and let me take the blame.
Are you awake?
You keep staring at the road,
a conversation we put off too long.
Are you OK?
Am I speaking in code?
I know that I’m right.
That doesn’t mean you’re wrong.
I was awake.
I took a long drive home (fuck).
I pinched a nerve and wrote it in a song.
I was OK.
Yeah, I’ve been down this road,
white-knuckled, waiting, pure survival mode.
Because the conversation
built up in my conscience tells me
“Maybe it’s time to listen, finally.
We’re coming up on our exit."
I guess I’ll see you around.”
