lyrics

DRIVING HOLLOW - lyrics by Elyce and Benjamin Russell

I'm going through the motions
Swimming in the mist
There might have been a turn back there
That I might have missed

I'm stopped here at the corner
Of Heartache and Pain
Scanning for Happiness
It's the street with no name

Switching on, checking out
Dashcam, GPS
Nothing helps

In a funk, bear it out
Driving round, in my car
Driving hollow

I'm going through the motions
But this fog's so thick
Could be hiding anything
Playing me a trick

This moment feels too late
I can't feel you there
Losing my happiness
I'm so sorry I swear

Just these little sparks
In the thick grey soup
Little lightning flashes
Fireflies in the city
In this city

Switching on, checking out... (chorus x2)
