I Took the 99 to Get Away From You

from Heartmouth by Sam Behymer

/

lyrics

i took the ninety-nine to get away from you
and nobody in any of these other cars knows
somebody pumped all the oxygen
right out of the valley
and we've only got a couple days to live
funny the feeling in my chest is just the same
you tie knots in my lungs too

i took the ninety-nine to get away from you
everybody else leaves me full of holes
step on the gas and blow past
dirty bathrooms
we've only got a couple miles to go
funny i won't remember the sun in this place
you knock open my eyes too

i took the ninety-nine to get away from you
the hills are alive and i'm not
fighting the urge to hurry hurry home

i took the ninety-nine to get away from you
and here i am in your shadow again
