Rumble Strips Songtext

RUMBLE STRIPS

I′ve been awake too long now
and my eyes want to close
I've been awake too long now
and I′m going off the road

maybe it's a sign of things to come
maybe it's the slapback echo for the shit that I′ve done

you know I keep moving faster
but you do not slow down
and the dragging of my head on my neck
is the weight that I know now

God if you can hear me, pull me so close
cuz right now all this flesh on my bones is keeping me ground-low


I will not react
I learned under attack
you take enough swings
and it′s bound to hit you back
the sound of gravel on the ground
somewhere out of town
says "you've been gone so long...
don′t stop now"

now the blind horizon
cuts the sun in half
and I can't see a damn thing
besides her backwards laugh

maybe it′s a sign of things to come
maybe it's the slapback echo for the shit that i′ve done

I will not react
I learned under attack
you take enough swings
and you're bound to hit you back
the sound of gravel on the ground
somewhere out of town
says "you've been gone so long...
don′t stop now"
