LYRIC FOR SALE

DETOUR

V1
Organized plans and to-do lists
Checked them off, tick by tick
Going full throttle, I never slowed
Had places I was moving toward
With my blinders on, only looked ahead
Didn't stop even when lights blinked red

Then one day right out of the blue
Across a cafe counter I saw you
And time itself was put on pause
Your smile pitched a wicked curveball
Free falling in the depth of your eyes
My planned timeline wanted to die a happy demise

CHORUS
Suddenly I wanna stop right here, extend my stay
Maybe take a recurring twelve month holiday
Suddenly I can postpone it all, there is no hurry
Everything else other than you looks so blurry
Suddenly I question what I am even running for
Maybe my dream is a face, and it looks like yours

V2
Five year plans and bucket lists
Stacked them up, brick by brick
Full steam ahead on a set route
So many things I had planned to do
Focus mode on, no time for distractions
Nor taking breaks, had to get my reps in

Then you walked in out of nowhere
Something felt different in the air
Your smile made me slam on the brakes
Couldn't care less about what was at stake
You had got me feeling so hypnotized
Other promises to myself were trivialized

CHORUS
Suddenly I wanna stop right here, extend my stay
Maybe take a recurring twelve month holiday
Suddenly I can postpone it all, there is no hurry
Everything else other than you looks so blurry
Suddenly I question what I am even running for
Maybe my dream is a face, and it looks like yours

BRIDGE
Now I'm dreaming '2 ticket dreams'
What could all of this even mean?
You have thrown me off course
And I might wanna take a detour

CHORUS
Suddenly I wanna stop right here, extend my stay
Maybe take a recurring twelve month holiday
Suddenly I can postpone it all, there is no hurry
Everything else other than you looks so blurry
Suddenly I question what I am even running for
Maybe my dream is a face, and it looks like yours
