​i hate highways (second version)

[Intro]
Yeah
And he didn't show up the next day
And he didn't-

[Verse 1]
One mile to the rest stop, read it
Exit signs on the highway
Merge right at the next lane
Blind spot, see the light blaze
Even used his blinker
And you’d barely see that from Mass plates
85 to the back plate
Too fast to use the brake

[Verse 2]
New job ain’t the last one
First day as an EMT
New call, it’s a bad one
Lights on, hit the gas, speed
ECG in the back beeps
And the sound isn’t helping the heartbeat
Almost at the scenе
Tire marks on the concretе

[Verse 3]
Words don’t fit for the sight seen
Words can’t say what the mess is
One look showed it unlikely
Of any life left in the wreckage
Partner did the re-check
He just stood there speechless
Long drive on the way back
No talk, trying to think less

[Outro]
And he didn’t show up the next day
And he didn’t show up the next day
And he didn’t show up the next day
New job, 25, and nothing the same
