Sprinter versuri

Sprinter lyrics by Cat Ridgeway

Late assignments, behind on your rent
Text your friends „be there in a minute”
Dishes piled up high
Dry clothes still on the line

Still got that damn check engine light
Out of groceries, but it’s fine
Never made up the bed
Out in public with wet hair on your head

But then you only had shots when you were out at the bar!
And you had uppers hidden in the back seat of your car!
You were a track star
A sprinter, you never ran far
Hey

Nail polish outgrown, unreturned calls from home
Meeting postponed in your own time zone
Too many emails unread
That check engine light’s still burning red

Shots on shots at the back of the bar!
And the uppers hidden in the back seat of your car!
You were a track star
A sprinter, you never ran far

Make up for the month that dragged on
In couple days
In a clouded haze
Stop and go, then the red lights run
Pedal through the floor
Engine blows and roars

You might be long gone now
But you never left this house

Were you just too proud?
Was I just too loud?

I wish you reached out and
I wish I had reached in…

Used to move so slow
I guess only God would know
Why you rushed the end of your life
Why you couldn’t wait to die
And now everyone’s wondering why
They never noticed the check engine light
