Lyrics of Olivia Hellman – Highway 17
The journey starts like it always has
Steady nerves and steady pace
You give the pedal a little more gas
But things start to feel out of place
Eyes on the road, but your ire’s on me
Each hurtful words puncture my heart
Roll down the window, struggle to breathe
This drive is tearing us apart
Over and over
Down this exact road
Head first we take the plunge and dive
We’re driving Highway 17
Twists and turns no longer thrill
Go too fast, your life careens
Just to get over that hill
Highway 17
Ups and downs affect me still
Wish life could be more serene
Trying to get over that hill
Ooh
Clutching the seat as tight as I can
Will we make it out alive?
Would it be better if we just crashed
And neither of us survived?
Over and over
Down this exact road
Should we just take the plunge and dive?
We’re speeding Highway 17
Twists and turns no longer thrill
Go too fast your live careens
And never get past that hill
Highway 17
With your rage and this horsepower
I’m not safe right next to you
Pushing 90 miles an hour
Push and pull, mile by mile
Seems we’re going nowhere
How much longer till we reach the top?
When it’s all downhill from there
Push and pull, mile by mile
Our destination seems so small
Unbuckle my seatbelt, take a deep breath
Suspend and we just fall
Made it through Highway 17
You escaped without a scratch
But the scars on my heart reveal to me
We’re no longer a perfect match
Ooh
