[Verse 1] The cars pa**ing by outside sound like crashing waves And in a vaguely calming way It kind of made me want to stay But the moment pa**ed and quickly I was on my way My backpack weighs heavily 'Cause I can't stop collecting memories [Chorus] I just stop by to show you I'm alive I am ready to leave as soon as I arrive [Verse 2] The running car in the driveway rattles like a thunderstorm You told me when it rains it pours You barely recognize me anymore And I don't know how I could possibly reply 'Cause I cannot change no matter how hard I try [Chorus] I just stop by to show you I'm alive I am ready to leave as soon as I arrive Arrive [Chorus] I just stop by to show you I'm alive I am ready to leave as soon as I arrive I just stop by to show you I'm alive I am ready to leave as soon as I arrive
