Gridlock lyrics
by Butch Walker
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna go back to the daily routine
Don't put me back in that world
And I know there's comfort in consistency
And lookin' like every boy or girl
After twenty-five years, I forget what it's like
To do the same old sh*t on every Saturday night
[Chorus]
And all the gridlock (Gridlock)
Comin' in hot
It's got me shell shocked
Tell me why time's gotta stop
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
Party's over, time to run it home
[Post-Chorus]
And it's a slow burn, baby
I can never ignite
'Til I'm already underwater
Feelin' barely alive
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
I don't know if I can let it go
When collisions are all I know
[Verse 2]
Countin' all the drivers glued to their phones
I stopped after twenty-two
MAGA sticker on the back of Japanese cars
Buddy, I'm just as confused as you
For a moment I think about my mom and my dad
Was this the life that they wanted or was it really that bad?
