17 miles on a freeway Dragging my heart through a relay When will my skin feel sea spray 17 miles on a freeway Can we just one time Allow the rules to break Leave the race behind And together walk away 17 miles on a freeway Chasing what seems to be fake Handing my gift to a cheapskate 17 miles on a freeway Can we just one time Allow the rules to break Leave the race behind And together walk away We could win the day I would rather run this race alone No more Chances for a foe to divide my soul Wasting every mile on a hope unknown When I can do it on my own My herald carved in stone I can Finally see the throne But For 17 miles I am all alone
