Highway 17

The journey starts like it always has Steady nerves and steady pace You give the pedal a little more gas But things start to feel out of place Eyes on the road, but your ire's on me Each hurtful words puncture my heart Roll down the window, struggle to breathe This drive is tearing us apart Over and over Down this exact road Head first we take the plunge and dive We're driving Highway 17 Twists and turns no longer thrill Go too fast, your life careens Just to get over that hill Highway 17 Ups and downs affect me still Wish life could be more serene Trying to get over that hill Ooh Clutching the seat as tight as I can Will we make it out alive? Would it be better if we just crashed And neither of us survived? Over and over Down this exact road Should we just take the plunge and dive? We're speeding Highway 17 Twists and turns no longer thrill Go too fast your live careens And never get past that hill Highway 17 With your rage and this horsepower I'm not safe right next to you Pushing 90 miles an hour Push and pull, mile by mile Seems we're going nowhere How much longer till we reach the top? When it's all downhill from there Push and pull, mile by mile Our destination seems so small Unbuckle my seatbelt, take a deep breath Suspend and we just fall Made it through Highway 17 You escaped without a scratch But the scars on my heart reveal to me We're no longer a perfect match Ooh
