Butch Walker - Gridlock Lyrics

I don't wanna' go back to the daily routine
Don't put me back in that world
I know there's comfort in consistency
And looking like every boy or girl

After 25 years I forget what it's like
To do the same old shit
On every Saturday night

All this gridlock (gridlock)
Comin' in hot
Got me shell shocked
Tell me why time's gotta' stop

Oh oh (oh oh)
(party's over time to run it home)

And it's a slow burn baby
I can never ignite
Till I'm already underwater
Feeling barely alive
Oh oh (oh oh)
I don't know if I can let it go

When collisions are all I know

Counting all the drivers, glued to their phones
I stopped after twenty-two
MAGA sticker on the back of Japanese cars, buddy I'm just as confused as you

For a moment I think about my mom and my dad
Was this the life that they wanted or was it really that bad?

All the gridlock (gridlock)
Comin' in hot
Got me shell shocked
Tell me why time's gotta' stop

Oh oh (oh oh)
(party's over time to run it home)

And it's a slow burn baby
I can never ignite
Till I'm already underwater
Feeling barely alive
Oh oh (oh oh)
I don't know if I can let it go

When collisions are all I know

I will stay clear of the drugs and the beer
Keep my bible close and my crucifix near
Well the demons are coming
They're alive and they're well
If I stay up past eleven
I'll be staring at hell

All the gridlock (gridlock)
Comin' in hot
Got me shell shocked
Tell me why time's gotta' stop

Oh oh (oh oh)
(party's over time to run it home)

And it's a slow burn baby
I can never ignite
Till I'm already underwater
Feeling barely alive
Oh oh (oh oh)
I don't know if I can let it go

When collisions are all I know
When collisions are all I know
When collisions are all I know
