The Slow 65

from Beautiful Mistakes by Scapeghost

/

lyrics

You were a wrong lane child
Someone should teach you how to drive
You’re all about the slow slow slow
Girl, you are eating up my life

You and your hourglass
Figure oughtta give me a little time
You and your broken windows
Literate to read the signs

It’s not your highway
It’s my right of way
Be good enough to let me pass
Should have known better than to follow a stray

That’s where you led me
To a highway of nothing but broken lights
No yellow bricks or bread crumb trails
You’re like an airport of canceled flights

The sky is your way
But you won’t teach me how to fly
You taunt me with the MPH
You drive a slow, slow 65
On an empty highway
You keep changing into the passing lane
On the slow, slow 65

Just about run out of gas
No petrol stations on your route
Highway as good as desert
The canyons all echo with dying shouts

Your taillights are just a memory
It’s been hours since you’ve taken flight
The sky is all falling stars
Without any wishes to make it right

It’s not your highway
You robbed me of my destination
Tongue tied, biting lip
I’m reaching out beyond my station

Just find me a car to fly
And I’ll follow you into the sky
On the final slow 65
I don’t care that you’re eating me up my life
That you’re eating up my life
Girl, you are eating up my life
You are eating up my life
