[Verse 1] The world stopped for a second That’s when I hit the wall A million miles of thinking Came crashing down at once If I never had to stop Maybe nothing would go wrong I think it’s just better When I’m moving along [Pre-Chorus] Keep the wheels awake Keep the streetlights coming I don’t need a destination I just need something running [Chorus] Everything is better when I’m moving Every little light becomes a movie I don’t know exactly where I’m going I just know I’m better when I’m moving [Verse 2] What happens when the road ends? What happens when it’s still? When there’s nowhere left to disappear And nothing left to fill? Maybe all the noise comes back Maybe every thought gets through So I keep one foot in front Of everything I knew [Broken Chorus] Better when I’m— Better when I’m moving Better when the headlights Keep cutting right through me I don’t need forever I don’t need improving I just need the whole world To keep on moving [Verse 3] Tell the cops I missed the turn Tell my girl I lost my phone Tell my friends I’ll call them back When I figure out where home is Tell the world to leave a message Tell my past I’m passing through Everybody wants an answer I’ve got better things to do [Final Chorus] Better, yeah Better, better, yeah Just better when I’m on the move Yeah, I’m better when I’m in the groove Better, yeah Better, better, yeah Don’t slow me down Don’t make me choose I’m just better when I’m on the move [Five-Guitar Solo] [Five lead guitars erupt at the same time—one melodic, one screaming, one playing too fast, one bending the same note over and over, and one buried in feedback. They fight for space until the whole thing collapses into noise.] [Outro] Still moving Still moving Don’t know where Still moving
