[Verse 1] I’m on a road Traveling, no one knows Dust on my tongue Burn in my throat Mile signs crooked Tilted like a joke Sky looks bruised Like it already broke Headlights carving Lines in the fog Thoughts all barking Like chained-up dogs Map in my pocket Blank as the moon Nowhere in front of me Coming up soon [Chorus] We’re on a road to nowhere Yeah, that’s the only truth I know We’re on a road to nowhere Still we ride, still we go We’re on a road to nowhere With the windows down, hearts exposed We’re on a road to nowhere Nowhere feels like home [Verse 2] I see a girl On the side, all alone Bare feet hanging Off a broken stone Eyes like storms Never learned to close She lifts her chin Wipes her nose She asks, “Where we going?” Voice cut sharp and low I laugh, say “Girl I was hoping you’d know” She climbs in silent Grips the door too tight Two lost strangers Married to the night [Chorus] We’re on a road to nowhere Yeah, that’s the only truth I know We’re on a road to nowhere Still we ride, still we go We’re on a road to nowhere With the windows down, hearts exposed We’re on a road to nowhere Nowhere feels like home [Bridge] [Flute and bagpipes rising under a spoken-word break] She says, “If this is nothing Then nothing’s all we’ve got” I say, “If this is empty Let’s fill it on the spot” Her hand out the window Catching little ghosts of air Two shadows laughing Like we meant to end up here [Chorus] We’re on a road to nowhere And the dark just lets us glow We’re on a road to nowhere But I don’t wanna know We’re on a road to nowhere With a stranger I now call my own We’re on a road to nowhere Nowhere feels like home (yeah)
