  • Last week, I was passenger in a car seat
    Thinking of decision that I made within a heart beat!
    She used to make my heartbeat but usually alarms me my lungs are over
    Working and I (Can't breathe)
    Yes I convinced myself I didn't like relationship malarkey,
    And she says "wait, you didn't ask me... (How I felt)"
    I said I love that your a (nice girl), and I'm sorry
    But this really wasn't time well,
    And it kinda feels like it may be a blur,
    Maybe coffee and telly is what I mainly prefer,
    Feel I gotta scratch the surface gotta break it to learn,
    And now I multiply the times in which the tables have turned!

    I call this the traveler's chant!
    Whether you sitting on a train or in the back of a car,
    Thinking, maybe it's me, yes I do have places to be
    Do I start at the end or do I end at the start,
    And in this little bit of time will I get very far?
    Maybe it's me, yes I do have places to be!
    And I'll be there!
    Yes, yeah the other day I was sitting on the train but in another place,
    I was on my way home, or maybe some would say,
    I was thinking bout the days I wanna run away,
    I've only really gotta couple mates, me, myself and I, how cliche,
    Looking out the window, feels like I'm in a film,
    Director, producer and as it happens I'm the main (character),
    Yeah my own little feature, length sound track being
    Whatever's in my speakers (then),
    I'd rather not be held accountable I bank on peoples feelings
    It's no wonder why I'm feeling spent, yeah and in a deeper sense,
    Sometimes I need the rain it helps me kinda clean my head,
    The suns an easy friend, I'm thinking maybe the duration of my journey
    Helped me reconnect my feelings then!

    I call this the traveler's chant!
    Whether you sitting on a train or in the back of a car,
    Thinking, maybe it's me, yes I do have places to be
    Do I start at the end or do I end at the start,
    In this little bit of time will I get very far?
    Maybe it's me, yes I do have places to be!
    And I'll be there!

    Oh yeah, yeah I'll be there.
    I got places to be and yes (I'll be there)
    Yeah, uh, yeah I'll be there... Said I'll be there
    (I'll be there)

    I call this the traveler's chant!
    Whether you sitting on a train or in the back of a car,
    Thinking, maybe it's me, yes I do have places to be
    Do I start at the end or do I end at the start,
    In this little bit of time will I get very far?
    Maybe it's me, yes I do have places to be!
    And I'll be there!

    I call this the traveler's chant!
    Whether you sitting on a train or in the back of a car,
    Thinking, maybe it's me, yes I do have places to be
    Do I start at the end or do I end at the start,
    In this little bit of time will I get very far?
    Maybe it's me, yes I do have places to be!
    And I'll be there! Writer/s: ANTHONY WHITING, EMILY PHILLIPS, HARLEY ALEXANDER, JORDAN STEPHENS
