Traveller's Chant lyrics

Last week

I was passenger in a car seat

Thinking of decisions

That I made within a heartbeat

She used to make my heart beat

It usually alarms me

My lungs are overworking

And I can't breathe

Yes I convinced myself

I didn't like relationship malarkey

But she said "Wait, you didn't ask me

How I felt"

I said "I love that you're a nice girl

And I'm sorry but this really wasn't timed well."

It kinda feels like it was mainly a blur

Maybe coffee and telly is what I mainly prefer

Feel I gotta scratch the surface

Gotta break it to learn

And now I multiply the times

In which the tables have turned

I call this the Traveller's Chant

Whether you're sitting on a train

Or in the back of a car

Thinking maybe it's me

Yes I do have places to be

(Got places to be)

And do I start at the end

Or do I end at the start?

In this little bit of time

Will I get very far?

Maybe it's me

Yes I do have places to be

And I'll be there

Yeah the other day

I was sitting on the train

But in another place

I was on my way home

But maybe some would say

I was thinking about the days I wanna run away

I've only really got a couple mates

Me, myself and I - how cliché

Looking out the window

Feels like I'm in a film

Director, producer and as it happens

I'm the main character

Yeah, my own little feature length

Soundtrack being whatever's in my speakers then

I'd rather not be held accountable

I bank on people's feelings

It's no wonder why I'm feeling spent

Yeah, and in a deeper sense

Sometimes I need the rain

It helps me kinda clean my head

The sun's an easy friend

I'm thinking the duration of my journey's

Helped me reconnect my feelings then

I call this the Traveller's Chant

Whether you're sitting on a train

Or in the back of a car

Thinking maybe it's me

Yes I do have places to be

(Got places to be)

And do I start at the end

Or do I end at the start?

In this little bit of time

Will I get very far?

Maybe it's me

Yes I do have places to be

And I'll be there
