State Tollway

Do you dream of me when you're sleeping on the beach?
Keeping company with your favorite colors
Blue and green, and you can't decide between
The summer days and nights from beneath the haze of
A couple drinks keeps you floating slowly, slowly

I never understood what you were so afraid of, baby
Never understood you
I never understood why you ran half the world away now
Never understood you
I guess I never will

As my car crawls past the North and Ashland ramp
I stare off into space, I picture (I picture)
The sun kissing your face and as the image fades
I'm focusing my eyes but all I see are brake-lights and
License plates of the state tollway floating slowly

I never understood what you were so afraid of, baby
Never understood you
I never understood why you ran half the world away now
Never understood you
I guess I never will

Do you think I'll see the world like you see it?
A postcard landscape stamped and sent to me
Oh you say you've finally found your place
(Oh you say you've finally found your place)
But I can't negotiate the waves between us
We're floating slowly

I never understood what you were so afraid of, baby
Never understood you
I never understood why you ran half the world away now
Never understood you
I guess I never will
