国道沿い｜Route Side 歌詞（COLD OPEN）

The convenience store on the highway, only its light is white
Your car turned off toward the expressway
I was a little late raising my hand
That’s all the night was

The part of me that felt left behind
was the most pathetic thing of all

Staying in this town — that was a choice too
It’s not like I ran away
I’ll drive the night highway as many times as it takes
I’ll play your share of it too

We talked for hours in that parking lot
Talk about the future always ended in a laugh
Now your name only shows up in notifications
The “read” mark comes a little slower
But you always write back
That’s enough, isn’t it

Growing apart isn’t a bad thing —
I’m finally starting to believe that

Nobody will ever know the sound of this town
And that’s fine. I’ll play it here
The night highway runs straight, as far as it goes
All the way to where you are

I thought staying in one place meant nothing would change
But keeping what doesn’t change is a job too
Somebody has to leave a place to come back to

If you ever come home
I’ll be here making noise
I’ll come pick you up

I stayed in this town — that’s my answer
It’s not like I ran away
Somewhere down the night highway, let’s meet again
Until that day, I’ll be playing here

Out on the highway
I’ll be waiting
Come home whenever you want
