Lost touch with the worn-out loves I’ve met
Lost count of the nights that I regret
I still ain’t certain where I’ll land just yet
But I’m going
Flash friends come and go like heartbeats
It’s fast times, we all keep footsteps fleet
Just sparks in catenaries over the street
Am I changing?
“Don’t stop. Don’t Split.”
Oh, but what have I done?
How far have I run?
Is there still time to quit?
“Oh, baby. Oh, man.
Are you kidding yourself?
Go put it back on the shelf
And let’s just stick to the plan.”
Stepping out of the road
Into a new set of headlights
If this is some kind of joke,
You know, it’s coming off as backbite
Yeah, sure, no one’s laughing
But I suspect that they’re just being polite
‘Cause I see it. I feel it, alright
“Don’t stop. Don’t Split.”
Oh, but what have I done?
How far have I run?
Is there still time to quit?
“Oh, baby. Oh, man.
Are you kidding yourself?
Go put it back on the shelf
And let’s just stick to the plan.”
