lyrics

Aren't we happy to be stuck on this highway
Aren't we happy to be here forever

Well I'd rather be
On the back streets
Won't you meet me
On the backstreets


I've never been a podcast person
I've never been the audiobook type
Driving at 5 is too big a risk
Can't we just avoid all this traffic
Can't we just avoid all this traffic

Winking stars and missed chances
Line zippers skipping teeth
As speed pulses through me-tal
Sirens and floodlights create mosaics
They drown the stars

Well I'd rather be
On the back streets
Won't you meet me
On the backstreets

Horror lies within
Telling truth in twisted plating
A thousand hypotheticals, played on loop
Feed me, they say, consume
Everything is fine
It's just gonna take more time

Well I'd rather be
On the back streets
Won't you meet me
On the backstreets

I’m drowning
Alone amidst the sea
Tendrils of smog grasp
Endeavoring to choke me.
Everything is fine
But first, you get to waste some time

Well I'd rather be
On the back streets
Won't you meet me
On the backstreets


And after all of this
In the dark
Gotta hunt down my wallet
I still need to park

Oh

Aren't we happy to be stuck on this highway
Aren't we happy to be here forever

Well I'd rather be
On the back streets
Won't you meet me
On the backstreets
