Interstate Songtext
von Ellis Piper

Almost crashed my car today
Getting on the interstate
White knuckles on the wheel, no, I′m not built for this

Watching the whole world slow down
I can't afford to lose this now
And there′s so much to think about, but the biggest thing is this

I miss sitting in the backseat of the car
Listening to mom's CDs
And looking up at streetlights like they're stars
Oh, I think I′ve had enough
I was never really good at growing up

Dentist visit going south
Can′t have needles near my mouth
Heart rate's through the roof, no, I′m not built for this

And I don't know how I got here
Don′t know why I feel this fear
If just one thing was crystal clear, I guess it would be this


I miss brushing with my brother every night
Singing songs and setting timers
Watching sand tell those two minutes going by
Oh, I think the timer's done
I was never really good at growing up

Oh-oh-oh-woah oh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-woah oh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh-woah oh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh oh oh
I was never really good at growing up

I′m not good at driving, this I know
I'll stick to what I can control
And ride my bike until I feel okay

Let's hope for no more cavities
And as for fillings for my teeth
I′ll ask the dentist if they can sedate

And if I dream, then I′m going back in time
Drawing while my Dad makes dinner
Then Mom will tuck me in, turn out the light
After seven storytimes
Oh, I hope that someday soon I turn out right
