about

Does your brain keep you awake sometimes? Do you overthink late at night?

This is a song for you.

lyrics

My mind is a peak hour city tonight
Where all intersections are locked out by broken traffic lights
And you're still like water on the passenger side
While this 2am continues on into midnight

I'm trying to shake the thought
of something someone said ten years ago
I'm trying to turn out the light
Am I just wasting my time?

I wonder if King William knows
About all the bottlenecks that suffocate his shitty road
And I wonder if it's all my fault
That my levy is steady, steady as she goes

I'm trying to shake the thought
of something someone said ten years ago
I'm trying to turn out the light
Am I just wasting my time?
Am I just wasting my time?
