Lyrics
Out in the open
I?ve been broken but patched up
The catch? There?s no catch
I?m just coasting
Out on the road
No stopping there?s no more problems
They may say that that?s the wrong way
But hey, I?m loaded with options
I?m floating
High, Hi, how you doing today
Maybe the best thing we could wish is for a getaway, these days
Why, why are we losing our way
We?ll just laugh at the world flying past
We?re on a fast track
Back in the backseat
There?s a whole lot of black streets
But I see the trees for the paper plant
Under the hood I understood there?s an motor
Just like my heart in my chest
You?ve got to go there to know there
I?m floating
High, Hi, how you doing today
Maybe the best thing we could wish is for a getaway, these days
Why, why are we losing our way
We?ll just laugh at the world flying past
We?re on a fast track
Dear Dad and Mom
All I?ve seen
No matter where I?ve been
Is moons and suns
And leaves and trees and lines and signs for something out there
On the horizon
Out in the open
I?ve been broken but patched up
The catch? There?s no catch
I?m just coasting
Out on the road
No stopping there?s no more problems
They may say that that?s the wrong way
But hey, I?m loaded with options
I?m floating
Hi, how you doing today
Maybe the best thing we could wish is for a getaway, these days
Why, why are we losing our way
We?ll just laugh at the world flying past
We?re on a fast track
We?re on a fast track
We?re on a fast track
