about

This song has KayR dealing with a love he never got the chance to be with. He expresses regret as he drives around his city. As the regret begins to consume him, he decides to drive head on into a semi-truck in the oncoming lane.

lyrics

[Hook]
I don't want to let you go, but I never had a hold in the first place
Said I don't want to let you go, and now you've got my world in the worst way
Now I'm gonna trip, gonna slip, gonna flip
Dip out in the whip. Ride round, down the strip
Now sound from my lips, but I wanna settle this
I just wanna get a grip on you

[Verse 1]
How the heck did we get here? Didn't expect to be left here
My pleas fall on deaf ears. Reality signs no checks here
Can't steer this car no more. Caught all up in this carnival
Of emotions. More ghost than human. Being with you is all I know
All I go is crazy when you're not around
Nothing else can phase me, I'm not touching ground
You pump the blood in my veins and you don't even know it
Always doing shows but I never really showed it
So I'm right here, calling on you. Please pick up, I've fallen on you
I'm tired of stalling on you. I don't mean to get appalling on you
But you are the greatest thing in my life. If you leave I won't be alright
Can this be? Can you feel my plight? Can you believe? Can you see the light
Bright? I just need you here
Tonight. Need to see you clear
Without you, I'm lost and it shows
So I let go and all my thoughts get exposed, like

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
As I sit in this car seat thinking 'bout you departing
Thinking 'bout hitting the reset button, and-and-and restarting
Pull over, pull out the car keys. But the song is still harping
That ain't no kick drum. That's my heart beat
Never really gave myself a chance to describe my stance
On the matter of us. Now you kicking up dust and you let go of my hand
And I'm reaching out, but only shadows reach back
Holding out with regret. Eyes open now, I see that
You're gone, really gone, and I could've done so much more
I chase visions in the night, with my pedal to the floor
I implore you to understand if I could go back in time
You might be mine. I never should've kept those thoughts in my mind
Now I'm stuck
Feeling down and struck
In the oncoming lane I see a truck
I'm on self destruct. Ugh

[Hook x 2]
