Speed
Hey
Glad that you called
But I'm on the highway right now
I can't get your call
The need on the speedometer
Swaying to the far right
I don't see you in my rearview mirror
Can you catch up?
Not on the highway to hell
Or heaven
That's for sure
I don't know where I'm going
But I've always been on the green light
No red light ever
Only encountered yellows
But they don't stop me
Don't stop me now
I'm having a grand time
Racing to find my better
Self
Hope I find it
It's not on the map
No matter how many times I've
Turned it to the other side
Flipped it
Looked at it upside down
The skyscrapers are towering
But I don't fear
My car goes faster
As I pass multiple city signs
Welcome to~ signs
And goodbye signs from
Various cities
The people I've met
The tears I've wept
The laughter I've had
But I must move on
I know we'll meet another day :)
Not lowering my speed
Nor pushing the pedal to the metal
I can't break down
There's people waiting for me
Just going at my normal
Comfortable pace
Fingers crossed that
Time will be kind and that
We meet at the next city
And stay there for awhile
