Nowhere Else
Journey Through Restless Nights: Noah Khorey's Nowhere Else
Lyrics
It can be so easy to regret
Reflecting on the ease of feeling regretful.
Place a couple bets just to try and make the rent
Taking risks, such as gambling, to make ends meet financially.
Litter paper plates beside the headboard of my bed
Describing a messy or chaotic personal space.
Buy a case of beer with the last dollar I've got left
Spending the last available money on a case of beer.
I'm not driving slow, this is how fast I want to go
Driving at a speed reflective of personal preference.
Cause I don't want to get there and I don't want to go home
Expressing a lack of desire to reach a destination or return home.
I'm not driving slow there's just nowhere else to go
Driving without a specific destination due to limited options.
Cause all the bars are closing - I'm coming down off of a low
Feeling the impact of the closure of bars and coming down from a low point.
It can be so easy to forget
Highlighting the ease of forgetting important things.
Stumble down the steps and send a text I never meant
Describing impulsive actions, like sending unintended texts.
Little wasted space in my apartment with my friends
Describing a small, cluttered living space shared with friends.
Talk and take a walk down to the park and back again
Engaging in casual conversation and a walk with friends.
I'm not driving slow, this is how fast I want to go
Reiterating the preference for a particular driving speed.
Cause I don't want to get there and I don't want to go home
Reiterating the reluctance to reach a destination or return home.
I'm not driving slow there's just nowhere else to go
Driving without a clear destination due to limited options.
Cause all the bars are closing - I'm coming down off of a low
Expressing the impact of bar closures and coming down from a low point.
My fears came into focus on the surface of a dashboard clock that even doesn't know the fucking time
Noting the clarity of fears, symbolized by a car dashboard clock.
Accept the space between us like the double yellow lines
Accepting the distance or separation between individuals.
Fight the urge to crash this car and just enjoy the drive
Resisting destructive urges and choosing to enjoy the journey.
I'm not driving slow this is how fast I wanna go
Reiterating the preference for a specific driving speed.
Cause I don't want to get there if it doesn't feel like home
Expressing the desire for a destination that feels like home.
I'm not driving slow, I'm just blinded by the glow of signs that all remind me:
Driving without slowing down, influenced by distracting signs.
I've got nowhere else to go
Feeling a lack of alternative places to go.
