For A While — Oath

Intro

Streetlights buzzing, morning's got me numb, (mm)
Maps in my pocket, nowhere I belong.

Verse 1

Rent due on the table, rain in the hall.
Same dead elevator, gum on the wall.
I mouth the headlines, don't read 'em through.
My name in the inbox feels like a bruise.
Shoes on the doormat, begging to run.
I text you "maybe?", you text back "come."

Chorus

I wanna slip past the turnstiles, fade from the file, (hey)
Kill every ping on my phone for a mile.
Drive 'til the skyline falls off the map,
Find a dirt shoulder and just take a nap.
I DON'T WANT FAME, I DON'T WANT A SIGN,
I just want out for a while.

Verse 2

We steal my brother's Subaru, tape on the dash.
Twenty in quarters, a mixtape of trash. (yeah)
Windows like wings, hair in our teeth, (laughs)
Grease on our fingers, salt on the seats.
We talk about nothing—turn up the band,
Let miles erase us, grain after grain.

Chorus

I wanna slip past the turnstiles, fade from the file, (alright)
Kill every ping on my phone for a mile.
Run 'til the skyline drops off the map,
Park by the breakers, lean back and laugh.
I DON'T NEED REASONS, I DON'T NEED A LINE,
I just want out for a while.

Bridge

If someone asks where the hell we went, (shh)
Say we followed a road that forgot to end.
Let the tide smudge our names off the glass,
No posts, no proof—just letting it pass.

Outro

Dust in the rearview, the city grows small.
Wake me when quiet remembers to call.
