Colours Run - The Traveller lyrics

rate me

Drag these remains

Through funereal rains

Heavy eyed as we stumble from the club

The kids in the car

They are brighter than stars

And it's clear they are nearly in love

Going where, I don't know

Try to bask in their glow

But my hands shake from the cold

So I laugh and I smoke

As they share some secret joke

And I feel a hundred years old

Why don't we stop

Cos I want to get off

Every mile we drive takes me further from home

I travel alone

Back to the world

With the things I have earned

In exchange for freedom to run

At the crest of the hill

I surrendered to the thrill

Now I'm caught in the cage of acceleration

Stop

Cos I want to give up

Every mile I fall takes me further from home

I travel alone
