Separated from their love strings

There's no heavy traffic to the ocean, but I
Contrasting the lack of heavy traffic to the ocean, implying a clear path to a destination.
Been wakin' up to all the highlights of
Waking up to positive and memorable moments in life.
All of the nights I've missed again

That's a ghost town flight it seems

Ignites the panic in me, and I don't sleep

There's no way to leave I got no car keys

But watch me find somebody to save me
