Tandem Bike

Pedaling alone upon this tandem bike
I don't remember signing up
For this kinda ride
The morning air it stings
The light reflects upon my chrome
Destination: anywhere but home

The scenery repeats just like some cartoon chase
The sun it shines the same
But I don't recognize its face
With every word you spoke
You made me feel more alone
Destination: anywhere but home

The city park, the alleyway
The ice cream nights, the summer lake
The silent weeks, the fire days
They shrink behind the trail that I blaze

Racing through your hoops
I turn on strings
Veering to the pen
To try and process everything
Tired of the screens
And all the crimes they have shown
Destination: anywhere but home

Oooh

The canceled plans, the naked hands
The storage space, the moving van
The silent weeks, the fire days
They shrink behind the trail that I blaze

Always halfway there
When the road turns around
Coming to a straightaway
When the gears break down
Where were you?

Always halfway there
When the road turns around
Coming to a straightaway
When the gears break down
Where were you?
Where were you?

I pedal twice as hard on this tandem bike
I do not know what waits for me
Along this ride
Maybe a place where I can stop
And rest these bones
Maybe a place were I won't feel
Together, but alone
Somewhere I can heal my heart
And polish up my chrome

Destination: anywhere but home
Destination: anywhere but home
Destination: anywhere but home
