insights and turnpikes

night in the van with my friends

sleep with my head in my hands

street lights and car brights leave paint on my eyes

it's a long ride

every mile binds us tighter and tighter

every mile takes us further from home

we've got emergency exits

they make our faces glow red

insights and turnpikes collide in my mind

it's a long ride

every mile binds us tighter and tighter

every mile takes us further from home

we drive right through the sunrise

celebrate every state line

point out the rest-stops and quick-marts we like

it's a long ride

every mile binds us tighter and tighter

every mile brings us closer to home
