I've been away and I've been down on my luck
And I almost died
I was away and I called home
I was on a highway phone
And I did not see
That a speeding car had come at me
A speeding car which came at me
I want another daydream
I want another slacker life
I almost die today
But indeed I walked away
I am ignorant too
And just as flaky as you
I almost die today
But indeed I walked away
Sometimes it's hard to see
Why indeed we should all love it here?
I was stranded on the road
And I almost froze
When I tried to sleep
My girlfriend's voice on the phone
It was dark, I was alone
And I did not see a speeding car that came at me
The speeding car which came at me
