Five Minutes Out

(tick tock tick tock)

You sent a text at ten past nine

Said you're pulling off the bypass line

Beside a rental with the trunk flung wide

But your green dot says you're still inside

Five minutes away, that's what you write Underneath the lonely freeway light

(liar, liar)

An empty road under a hollow sky

No headlights moving, just a quiet lie

Out on the concrete,

cold and grey While you are miles and miles away!

I see the dust clouds on the screen

Tracing the path where you should have been

Standing frozen by an open trunk

All my patience has slowly sunk

Five minutes away...

(just a lie,

just a

lie)
