Freeway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thinking on a dream I never had
Pictures of a world I′ve never seen Pieces of a life forever more Find the light for me Freeway!
Running from a man that is me Picking at the bones of everything that we'll ever be Pieces of a life forever more Find the light for me Freeway!
