about

I wrote this about a friend who was having a tough time. Its also a note on imposter syndrome and an encouragement to talk when things are tough.

lyrics

When your tyres are flat
Your journey is long
Your tank is empty
Everything is wrong
But you can't stop driving
You're too far from home
Turn up the radio
And Sing Along

Cuse even the saddest songs are an antidote
All the clever lines that you wish you wrote
Let them hold you close, sing them from your heart
Regain your resolve for another start.

I'm going to work as hard
As I can, for me
They think I'm good at this
I guess I'd better be
I'll hold a little bit back
Still I want them to see
Whats inside this heart
You know that I believe

Even the saddest songs are an antidote
All the clever lines that I wish I wrote
Let them hold you close, sing them from your heart
Regain your resolve for another start.

You know it's not too late
To have that talk
Call me anytime
We'll go for a walk
I'll listen close
We don't have to agree
But you've got my arms
You know we both believe

Even the saddest songs are an antidote
All the clever lines that we wish we wrote
Let them hold you close, sing them from your heart
Regain your resolve for another start.
