Tired Tires

"We're all vehicles cruising down a road
Fresh quadruplets screwed on, 
One for each corner

At first, the tires friction if sharp
Brighter than a sun in July
Gas on the same roads we took yesterday

The hills stay the same, 
Routes never change
Overtime, the road can scrape up the tires

Every heartbreak, every tear shed, 
They're just more friction and rocks,
Added onto the gravel road

Overtime, we all become worn like tires
What some people don't realize,
We need a break to trade our tires in,
For a refreshment to start a smoother ride"
