17 Miles

17 miles on a freeway
Dragging my heart through a relay
When will my skin feel sea spray
17 miles on a freeway
Can we just one time
Allow the rules to break
Leave the race behind
And together walk away
17 miles on a freeway
Chasing what seems to be fake
Handing my gift to a cheapskate
17 miles on a freeway
Can we just one time
Allow the rules to break
Leave the race behind
And together walk away
We could win the day
I would rather run this race alone
No more Chances for a foe to divide my soul
Wasting every mile on a hope unknown
When I can do it on my own
My herald carved in stone
I can Finally see the throne
But For 17 miles I am all alone
