about

I was on tour in Eastern Canada in August 2013 when I had the initial idea for this song. i was thinking about the similarities between touring musicians and truck drivers, so I tried to write it from the perspective of one of the truck drivers that were passing our van out the window on Highway 1 West.

lyrics

My CB radio scans the airwaves for soft-spoken syllables, a prime directive or forgotten frequencies. A service station light would serve to serve me for some sustenance tonight.

What I want most for you is to miss me when I'm gone. I know it's selfish, but I can't seem to move on. So while we grapple with the physical disjoint, I'll stretch back equally towards my starting point.

Oh, precious cargo, I can always count on you to show me something that's worth navigating to. Obsessed with distance and romanticizing space. Not so much "lost" as I am "comfortably displaced."

So fill me up with stories, anecdotes on love. Soon I'll be on my way to the life I've spoken of. Press hands to steering wheel. Watch breath condense on glass. Add up those mile markers. All good things must pass.
