lyrics

Headlights catch the tail of a fox
driving the 1 on the cliff side
desolation hitches on the ride
thought you left that shit behind

The paradox of wandering between
you never arrive, you never really leave
thought Iʼd grown out of the fantasy
of looking for meaning in everything

Stopped then, had barely noticed
just how far weʼve come in such a short time
Happy, swept to motion
by the fondest breezes coming on down the line

Eventually the highway spits you out
youʼre left to face the routine of day
but my heartbeat without the beauty stops
head slips off to a haze

Stopped then, had barely noticed
just how far weʼve come in such a short time
happy, swept to motion
by the fondest breezes coming on down the line
a bed tonight seems like & bore
I know your kind
You need to sleep along the shore
