Lyrics

Highway Kind

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

My days they are the highway kind,

They only come to leave,

But the leaving I don't mind

It's the coming that I crave,

Pour the sun upon the ground,

Stand to throw a shadow,

Watch it grow into the night

And fill the spinning sky.

Time among the pine trees,

It felt like breath of air,

Usually I just walk these streets

And tell myself to care;

Sometimes I believe me,

Sometimes I don't hear,

Sometimes the shape I'm in

Won't let me go.

I don't know too much for truth,

But my heart knows how to pound,

My legs know how to love someone,

My voice knows how to sound;

It's a shame that it's not enough,

It's a shame that it is a shame,

Follow the circle down,

Where would you be?

You're the only one I want,

I've never heard your name,

Let's hope we meet someday,

If we don't it's all the same.

And I'll meet the ones between us,

And be thinking about you,

And all the places I have seen,

And why you were not there.
