[Verse 1] Watching fields roll past my window seat Corn stalks swaying in the August heat My ticket says I'm heading south today But my mind keeps pulling far away The lady next to me reads magazines While I count white lines between the scenes Something in my chest feels warm and slow Like summer rain about to go [Chorus] The miles keep blurring like watercolors Each state line fades into another The world outside is running faster now While time inside me slows somehow [Verse 2] Rest stop lights are burning way too bright My hands feel strange, can't hold my phone right Someone's child is crying three rows back The sunset bleeds across the track The driver calls out places I don't know My breathing matches rivers as they flow Everything is moving far too smooth Like I'm floating through the afternoon [Chorus] The miles keep blurring like watercolors Each state line fades into another The world outside is running faster now While time inside me slows somehow [Bridge] The farmland's dancing, spinning round and round I hear my heartbeat but it makes no sound Mom's face is fading in my memory The bus keeps rolling endlessly Through towns that melt like morning frost Through states where I'll get lost [Verse 3] My reflection's getting hard to see The window glass is swimming under me The engine hums a quiet lullaby As cotton clouds dissolve up in the sky And all these strangers sharing this last ride Don't notice how I'm slipping side to side But I can feel the earth begin to sway As every color washes gray Don't notice how I'm slipping side to side But I can feel the earth begin to sway As every color washes gray
