Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You been on the phone for far too long
It's either someone's coming back
Or someone is gone
[Verse 2]
I know that quiet too well
I can't hide it too well
If I put on this white T, maybe they won't see
Seen Ace on that big bike when I was twelve
I thought he'd live forever, but now he's in hell
Wings ain't built for the size of his cell
So he let me hold his till he gets an appeal
[PreChorus]
Highways and walkways
The risks I took those nights
I just wanted to stop running from my life
From my life
[Chorus]
You know I ask too many questions
Like who is still human?
Like who is not ruined when they start to listen?
And I only see beauty when it starts to end
I only see beauty when it starts to end
When it starts to end
[Verse 3]
Everything was memorized when I was a child
How to pray, how to speak, how to jump, how to smile
And some days, we let go, go outside the only borders we know
Tryna get away from those kids
If I went any faster, my lungs would've gave in
They broke every rule, they didn't care to live
Soon, I would hold their limbs
[PreChorus]
Highways and walkways
The risks I took those nights
I just wanted to stop running from my life
From my life
[Chorus]
You know I ask too many questions
Like who is still human?
Like who is not ruined when they start to listen?
And I only see beauty when it starts to end
I only see beauty when it starts to end
[Outro]
When it starts to end
