lyrics

I’m driving on the highway, every tree flies by the eyes
Within a little while, a hundred km/h seems like anything else
Feels like nothing fast, nothing dangerous, nothing kicking anymore
Just driving at a pace of calming down

They say if you finally get want you want
You will start to miss how you got there in the first place
Like frogs always trying to get quicker and higher
Before they are too old to jump around
By then they think of their youth, they look back and carry on
They look back and carry on, at a pace of calming down

Driving, driving, don‘t disturb, I’m driving on the highway
All the frogs are jumping, busy jumping, surrounded by everyone jumping Time is passing, frogs are aging; but they, they keep on jumping

'Cause they still know, still remember, still have that feeling colour-inked in their heads
How it’s used to be not to fear, not to care, just to fall and break free Maybe get hurt, maybe even scarred, like every adventure would be
In the end you’ll have a lifetime to heal your broken heart at a pace of calming down
When your pace finally calms down, you will see all you’ve looked for is already found
Am I getting closer now? Or is that moment still to come?

I’m driving on the highway, every tree flies by the eyes
Within a little while, a hundred km/h seems like anything else
