Hey Highway
Lonely Drives and Broken Hearts: Hey Highway Unveiled
Lyrics
I know it's late
I acknowledge that it's late
And midnight to five
The time from midnight to five in the morning
Is the only time you catch a break
During this time, you finally get a respite
And it's selfish of me thinking you could carry all this weight
I realize it's selfish of me to expect you to bear all the burdens
And I get a high from the hum of these tires
I find joy in the sound of the tires, providing a distraction from pain
And it makes all this hurt go way
The humming of the tires helps alleviate emotional pain
I know you don't wanna hear another sad song
Acknowledging that you may not want to hear another sad story
Story bout a guy and a girl that went wrong
A reference to a story of a failed relationship between a guy and a girl
I know it's late
Reiteration that it's late
Hey highway
Addressing the highway
It's a good night for a drive so take me the long way
Suggesting that it's a suitable night for a long drive
If I drop a couple tears on you
If I shed tears during the drive, I apologize
Well I'm sorry it gets lonely
Expressing loneliness and gratitude for being there
You're the only one that's been there for me
You are the only one who has been there for me
So hey highway hey highway
Repetition and emphasis on the relationship with the highway
I know it's hard
Acknowledging the difficulties
All of these strangers are bringing you their broken hearts
Strangers sharing their broken hearts adds to the hardship
Then you got me breaking down inside this car
Feeling emotional distress inside the car
We're all crying in cars
A collective experience of crying in cars
I know you don't wanna hear another sad song
Reiteration of not wanting to hear another sad story
Story bout a guy and a girl that went wrong
Reference to a failed relationship story
I know it's hard
Acknowledging the difficulty again
Hey highway
Addressing the highway again
It's a good night for a drive so take me the long way
Reiterating that it's a good night for a long drive
If I drop a couple tears on you
If I cry during the drive, I apologize
Well I'm sorry it gets lonely
Expressing loneliness and gratitude for being there
You're the only one that's been there for me
You are the only one who has been there for me
So hey highway hey highway
Repetition and emphasis on the relationship with the highway
If you're anything like me
If you're like me, you are not emotionally rigid
You ain't concrete
Continuation of the emotional aspect
If you're anything like me
Desire for happiness is a common trait
Happy's all you wanna be
Emphasizing the pursuit of happiness
Hey highway
Addressing the highway once more
It's a good night for a drive so take me the long way
It's a suitable night for a long drive
If I drop a couple tears on you
If I cry during the drive, I apologize
Well I'm sorry it gets lonely
Expressing loneliness and gratitude for being there
You're the only one that's been there for me
You are the only one who has been there for me
So hey highway hey highway
Repetition and emphasis on the relationship with the highway
Hey highway
-Hey highway
-Hey highway
-Hey highway
