The Road by Emma Freeman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dancing in the dark to town
In a red t-shirt I wore around the house
When I slept in late on Saturdays
We were sixteen, up the wall
The only thing in my system was alcohol
I didn't want to go home, I didn't want to be fine

[Verse 2]
Back then I made up bucket lists
Of all the things I longed for and things I'd miss
If I spent all my life shut up in my room dreaming
I dreamed of camping, cliff diving
Having my first kiss, or simply driving
Hours and hours 'til I got somewhere they didn't know me

[Chorus]
On the road, on the road
On the road, on the road

[Verse 3]
The street lamps made the sidewalks shine
And for a moment it felt like the world was mine
We stumbled off of the curb and trampled into the street
I grabbed my hair, looked at the stars, and screamed
This is not how I want my whole life to be
No matter what, one day you're going to find me
[Chorus]
On the road, on the road
On the road, on the road

[Bridge]
A silly teenage girl with skinny legs covered in bruises
Wanting to feel anything but love (Anything but love)

Driving on the road to town
In a red t-shirt I wore around the house
I didn't want to go home, I didn't want to be fine
I didn't want to go home, I didn't want to be fine

[Chorus]
On the road, on the road
On the road (I don't want to be fine), on the road
On the road (I don't want to be fine, I don't want to be fine)
On the road (I don't want to be fine, I don't want to be fine)
On the road (I don't want to be fine, I don't want to be fine)
On the road
