One Million Motors Lyrics

It is miles upon miles
for a traveling man
Bittersweet smiles
Reminders that you understand
But shaking nerves
Still come unwound
In messages
Stories of coming back around
These barren, hungry tires
Grip the earth
As where we are
Becomes where we were
When destination slams into location
Night after night
You know the taste of dirt

It is miles upon miles for a calling
Closer to home
with every word I sing
Anxiety
and relief still contend
in messages
Stories of coming home to a best friend
These barren, hungry tires
Grip the earth
As where we are
Becomes where we were
When destination slams into location
Night after night
You know the taste of dirt

Leaving feels a lot like falling
Like a million motors running
In my stomach
It kills me
To say all these late night phone calls
Are the most I can offer when the train pulls up
Leaving
Feels a lot like falling
Like cyanide and cyclones
Leaving
Feels a lot like falling
But I'm always on my way home

Leaving feels a lot like falling
Like a million motors running
In my stomach
It kills me
To say all these late night phone calls
Are the most I can offer when the train pulls up
