[Verse 1]

I've made a mental note

That they will never know

Been on the clock for twenty years and they won't let me go

So I pretend the road

Will lead me to a home

That's for five seconds until I hit the danger zone

But those seconds are precious to me

They're just glimpses of when I'll be free

I get visions of who I could be

A little life is all I need


[Chorus]

I wish I had bones, I would leave you alone

So used to empty roads, it's all I've ever known

I wish I had limbs, but I can't let it go

I'd chase the sunset, until my muscles tore

I wish I had a voice so you could hear me out

And laugh at all the things you think I care about

I'd give you memories that you'd think about

When you're tryna sleep in that empty house


[Verse 2]

I wish I was you sometimes

To tell me it's alright

"You're worth more than just one ride"

"There's so much inside your mind"

"I'll try to give you a new life"

"But you were made to die"

I wish I had a choice

But they treat me like I'm just a toy

I know I could be a mama's boy

I know I could be daddy's girl

I would kill for fingerprints

Leave them on the cigarettes

I'd live my life with no regrets

I would have a face you can't forget


[Bridge: Spoken-Word]

I know there's so much out there

A life I've never had

The lips I haven't kissed

Flesh wounds I deserve

One day I'll find my way out

And see what color blue is like

One day

I'll know what it feels like to breathe

One day

I'll know what it feels like to exhale


[Chorus]

I wish I had bones, I would leave you alone

So used to empty roads, it's all I've ever known

I wish I had limbs, but I can't let it go

I'd chase the sunset, until my muscles tore

I wish I had a voice so you could hear me out

And laugh at all the things you think I care about

I'd give you memories that you'd think about

When you're tryna sleep in that empty house
