"Traffic Jam" lyrics

"Traffic Jam"

Sleet-patterned streets fold out in front of me
Late night ice sheets on the Allegheny
As traffic slows and sun burns low
The sky is always happening without me

But I am here today
Appreciating time

And if the world went on without me, I think I'd be fine here
Looking out the window while I wait and get my mind clear
I just want to watch what happens, I don't need to interfere
If the world went on without me, I think I'd be fine here

Violent tunnel, sickly yellow
Light declining, silent travel
But at the end, the air is new
I breathe it in, but never thought it through

So I am here today
Appreciating time

And if the world went on without me, I think I'd be fine here
Looking out the window while I wait and get my mind clear
I just want to watch what happens, I don't need to interfere
If the world went on without me, I think I'd be fine here

And if the world went on without me, I think I'd be fine here
Looking out the window while I wait and get my mind clear
I just want to watch what happens, I don't need to interfere
If the world went on without me, I think I'd be fine here
