Speed Trap Lyrics

Sunbleached and washed out, Sunday afternoon

Sitting by the window, just watching the dust move

I'm not so naïve to think there are better days ahead

My only hope is that I can stay on the right side of them

More or less

I was going so fast that I couldn't see the speed trap

Caught hedging bets that I knew I couldn't win

So focused on a forward path that I got off the right track

Kept trying to do the math but it wouldn't add

To coming back to life

Rest your head on the seatbelt, we've got a long way to go

Two more hours 'til we get to Ohio

We stayed up all night talking, and you would tell me all your plans

While I'm squinting my eyes trying to find my place in any of them.

I was going so fast that I couldn't see the speed trap

Stuck hedging bets that I knew I couldn't win

So focused on a forward path that I got off the right track

Kept trying to do the math but it wouldn't add

To coming back to life

Coming back to life

Coming back to life
