lyrics

I’ve been riding this bike
I’ve been riding this bike
For the whole of my life
Moving in a straight line
Disregarding passerby
And no one can say why
Soon they’ll be saying this exact phrasing verbatim:
“We knew you had it in you all along”
I’ve been making this climb
I’ve been on this grind
For the whole of my life

The leaves go to brown
For miles and miles around
But I can see the city
I can see the city from here

Fields and rolling hills
Pass under our wheels
In the open air
Disregarding passerby
On their feet and on their bikes
Down the road we fly
I might have an inkling as to what these kids are thinking:
“We knew you had it in you all along”
We’ve been in this car
We’ve been traveling hard
Now we’re gonna go far

The leaves go to brown
For miles and miles around
But I can see the city
I can see the city from here
