lyrics
I found my self on the freeway
Hundred and eighty
But something is changing, hmm
The scenery is amazing
That’s what they’re saying
Don’t know what I’m chasing, hmm
Could’ve done this
Could’ve done that
Could’ve done better
Would’ve gone mad
When what you love’s just making you sad
Maybe you should move on and leave it
Just take it easy
You’ve got good reason
To give yourself a break
Enjoy the feeling
Words have no meaning
Just blame the season
Go give yourself a break, yeah
Remember it’s not a race
Everyone’s got these days
Remember you’ll be okay, hmm
Remember it’s not a race
Everyone’s got these days
Remember you’ll be okay, hmm
So overwhelmed and underwhelmed
Where is the balance
Pacing myself and slowing down’s
Never been my talent
Could’ve done this
Could’ve done that
Could’ve done better
Would’ve gone mad
When what you love’s just making you sad
Maybe you should move on and leave it
Just take it easy
You’ve got good reason
To give yourself a break
Enjoy the feeling
Words have no meaning
Just blame the season
Go give yourself a break, yeah
Remember it’s not a race
Everyone’s got these days
Remember you’ll be okay, hmm
Remember it’s not a race
Everyone’s got these days
Remember you’ll be okay, hmm
Hundred and eighty
But something is changing, hmm
The scenery is amazing
That’s what they’re saying
Don’t know what I’m chasing, hmm
Could’ve done this
Could’ve done that
Could’ve done better
Would’ve gone mad
When what you love’s just making you sad
Maybe you should move on and leave it
Just take it easy
You’ve got good reason
To give yourself a break
Enjoy the feeling
Words have no meaning
Just blame the season
Go give yourself a break, yeah
Remember it’s not a race
Everyone’s got these days
Remember you’ll be okay, hmm
Remember it’s not a race
Everyone’s got these days
Remember you’ll be okay, hmm
So overwhelmed and underwhelmed
Where is the balance
Pacing myself and slowing down’s
Never been my talent
Could’ve done this
Could’ve done that
Could’ve done better
Would’ve gone mad
When what you love’s just making you sad
Maybe you should move on and leave it
Just take it easy
You’ve got good reason
To give yourself a break
Enjoy the feeling
Words have no meaning
Just blame the season
Go give yourself a break, yeah
Remember it’s not a race
Everyone’s got these days
Remember you’ll be okay, hmm
Remember it’s not a race
Everyone’s got these days
Remember you’ll be okay, hmm
