[Verse 1]
The cars passing by outside sound like crashing waves
And in a vaguely calming way
It kind of made me want to stay
But the moment passed and quickly I was on my way
My backpack weighs heavily
'Cause I can't stop collecting memories

[Chorus]
I just stop by to show you I'm alive
I am ready to leave as soon as I arrive

[Verse 2]
The running car in the driveway rattles like a thunderstorm
You told me when it rains it pours
You barely recognize me anymore
And I don't know how I could possibly reply
'Cause I cannot change no matter how hard I try

[Chorus]
I just stop by to show you I'm alive
I am ready to leave as soon as I arrive
Arrive

[Chorus]
I just stop by to show you I'm alive
I am ready to leave as soon as I arrive
I just stop by to show you I'm alive
I am ready to leave as soon as I arrive
