Tonguencheek - Tollway Lyrics

You're driving me to the airport
I always hated that exit sign
It's always right around here
I realize there's something I left behind
In the reflection in the mirror
The sunlight's burning out my eyes
Just let me out when you can
I need a walk before I head inside

Can you slow us down to 30?
I'll tuck and roll, and I'll be fine
It'll leave me feeling dirty
But that never bothered me, no
That never bothered me

So I get cut up on the concrete
Give me a bloody nose and my ribs a bruise
I'll trade my paycheck for an X-Ray
At least I got away from you

My medical bills weigh me down
That's the price I pay for escaping conversation
It's not your fault, you know that small talk makes my head pound
Or that may be my concussion

From jumping out your passenger side
Now you're looking at me like you're realizing I'm losing my mind
It's easier than hearing you out
Cause lately I've been tuning you out
I said lately I've been tuning you out

But now I'm on the tollway
I'm looking both ways
But I can't cross this road
I've been here with you
A hundred times
I know you know the one
All these people passing me
Oh they can't tell that I'm hitchhiking
So I'm on the tollway
I'm headed your way
I'll see you when I get home

If I get home
If I get home

I hope you don't mind the subject change
It's just I'd rather focus on the things that make me feel less deranged
I know you hate it when I'm jumping out of your car
I know you hate to see the things I do to shut you up

But this is the price I pay for escaping conversation
I tuck and roll, I hit the floor
I'm losing consciousness again
I can't make it home if my legs are broken
I could give you a call, hundredth time in a row
Ask you to pick me up

But this is the price I pay for escaping conversation
I tuck and roll, I hit the floor
I'm losing consciousness again
I can't make it home if my legs are broken
I could give you a call, hundredth time in a row
Ask you to pick me up

And I'd say

But now I'm on the tollway
I'm looking both ways
But I can't cross this road
I've been here with you
A hundred times
I know you know the one
All these people passing me
Oh they all thought that I was up to something
So I'm on the tollway
I'm headed your way
I'll see you when I get home

If I get home
