[Verse 1]
Coulda been a 5 a.m.
Staying out late again
Bending over backwards for a little more time
Coulda been Swift Creek Lake
Pine trees and a Cheerwine case
Sitting 'round the fire on a Friday night
[Refrain]
Time just slips away
Wish I coulda saved
[Verse 2]
Coulda been a dead-end job
Long weeks with Sundays off
Scrounging up some cash just to fill the tank up
Coulda been a thirty-minute drive
Dressed up, going out tonight
Spinning her around 'til the sun comes up
[Refrain]
Time just slips away
Wish I coulda saved
[Chorus]
But everything's strange
Have I been gone that long?
Everything's the same
Then why's it all feel wrong?
These empty streets I'm driving down
It's sad to see it didn't wait around for me
Am I the one who's changed?
Is everything strange?
[Verse 3]
I'm tryna retrace my steps
Picking back up where we left
But every backroad's just another wrong turn, oh
Every backroad's just another wrong turn
[Chorus]
But everything's strange
Have I been gone that long?
Everything's the same
Then why's it all feel wrong?
These empty streets I'm driving down
It's sad to see it didn't wait around for me
Am I the one who's changed?
Is everything strange? (Let's go)
[Outro]
These empty streets I'm driving down
It's sad to see it didn't wait around for me
Am I the one who's changed?
'Cause everything's strange
Everything's strange
Everything's strange
