Lyrics
Standing by the interstate
Feeling stranded near the highway
The cars go by
Observing the passing cars
I must find a quick way out
Expressing the need for a quick escape
I need to hitch a ride down south
Desiring to hitchhike south
Instead I stare off into space
Distracted, lost in thought
Frozen hands and a frost bit face
Hands are numb, face is frostbitten
Wishing I was back in the United States
Longing for home in the United States
I'm watching cars go by
Continuing to watch passing cars
I pace around from street to street
Restlessly moving from street to street
Messages I've sent to sea
Sending messages, perhaps seeking help
A simple plea to get me out of here
A plea for assistance to escape the current situation
Oh well, I guess
Acceptance of the situation
It's all about sheer lunacy, trapped inside this maple leaf
Emphasizing the difficulty, feeling trapped in Canada ("maple leaf")
A heavy weight, a heart that has no beat
Conveying a burden, a heart without vitality
Standing by the interstate
Repeating the scene by the interstate
The cars go by
Reiteration of observing passing cars
I must find a quick way out
Reaffirming the need for a quick escape
I need to hitch a ride down south
Repeating the desire to hitchhike south
Instead I stare off into space
Reiterating being lost in thought
Frozen hands and a frost bit face
Repeating the physical discomfort
Wishing I was back in the United States
Reiterating the longing for home in the U.S.
I'm watching cars go by
Continuing to watch passing cars
I need to rectify this situation best I can
Expressing the need to resolve the situation
I need to find a ride
Emphasizing the urgency to find a ride
Oh well, I guess
Reiteration of accepting the situation
I'll pace around these streets again
Restlessly pacing the streets again
Messages I've sent to friends
Repeating messages sent, seeking help from friends
A simple plea to get me out of here
Reiterating the plea for assistance
Oh well, I guess
Reiteration of accepting the situation
It's all about sheer lunacy, trapped inside the maple leaf
Re-emphasizing feeling trapped in Canada ("maple leaf")
A heavy weight, a heart that has no beat
Reiterating the heavy burden and lifelessness
Oh well, I guess
Reiteration of accepting the situation
Oh well, I guess
Reiteration of restlessly pacing the streets
I pace around these streets again
Repeating messages sent to friends
Messages I've sent to friends
Reiterating the scene of cars passing by
and the cars go by
Final repetition of the ongoing situation
