about

Acoustic-driven indie rock ballad about taking stock of life after a breakup.

lyrics

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
The 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
