Road trip Songtext / Lyric

Take the coastal road through Edam 'Cause I'm headed up to Sydney My home is where my heart is
And I don't want to take you with me

I wish I could move fast enough
Let my treason trail behind
But my punishment is a recklessness
So ignore the speeding signs

She fell back in her chair
And tried to breathe the air
I froze and watched her fall

Take the road through Port Macquarie
'Cause I'm headed up to Byron
I can't avoid my weariness
And I'm paranoid of sirens

A twenty-four-hour fuel and food
Is the only light in town
I get the bugs from off my windscreen
And I leave without a sound

She fell back in her chair
And tried to breathe the air
I froze and watched her fall

There's nothing at all
Like the way she laughs and smiles
I'm clocking up the miles
Just to get away from me
And I'd drive into the sea
If it meant she'd be happy

I just want a drink
Find some place where I can't think
And dance with some sweet stranger
Feel my wallet shrink

Get in touch with distant family
See my cousins Rod and Marty
Hold our bottles to the thunderstorm
And have ourselves a party

She fell back in her chair
And tried to breathe the air
I froze and watched her fall

There's nothing at all
Like the way she laughs and smiles
I'm clocking up the miles
Just to get away from me
And I'd drive into the sea
If it meant she'd be happy

For heavens sake just stay awake
'Cause you know what's at stake
You don't deserve a break
so just keep going

Feeling so ill I can't sit still
And I'm dressed to kill the time
Tell me what happens
'Cause I'm afraid of knowing
I'm afraid of knowing
I'm afraid of knowing
I'm afraid of knowing

There's nothing at all
Like the way she laughs and smiles
I'm clocking up the miles
Just to get away from me
And I'd drive into the sea
If it meant she'd be happy
