lyrics

Hitchhiker, heartache personified
I try to take the highway, you keep clogging up the line
When I refuse a ride you’re fogging up my rear view mirror
Either way, you’re hitching on my mind

I’m passing tortoise trucks and passed by sleek sedans in flight
And letting certain notions pass me by
But if I pass thoughts of you once or twice down the line
You’ll be ever ahead thumbing for a ride

When I pull over to the shoulder you’re the boulder on my brain
Weighed down by bindled baggage we’ve retained
And I’ll keep on coming back even though I stay on track
My blind spot before I change the lane

When you’re not hitchhiking, you’re hoping on my train of thought
I don’t know what to do, I can’t drive through thoughts of you

Hitchhiker, materialized roadside
I try to take the highway, you keep clogging up the line
When I refuse a ride, you’re fogging up my side view mirror
You’ll always be closer than you appear

Oh dear, always be closer than you appear
