Traffic Lyrics by UMNIA

Nostalgia Radio Vol. 1

2021

[VERSE]
So this is what you wanted me to go through
Just look at all the good that did you
My love, this is not how your teenage years had to be
They fooled you if they told you i’m oppressed or depressed
I have my moments, but damn I’ve had a ball

Watched movies all alone, had dinner on my own
Grown closer to my mother
You couldn’t have paid me to do anything else
Stop prodding at my mental health
You won’t find in me anything out of the ordinary for my generation, except my solitary

[PREChorus]
'cause the traffic could have run me over
You see it once and it keeps you sober for life
And what a life

[Chorus]
I’ve learned lessons with my hand unburned
I saw the demons and I drew the curtains
Silent bliss, not tragic
Found my peace hiding from traffic

[VERSE]
So maybe I look in a mirror and judge myself based on my looks (who hasn’t)
And maybe I break down when things don’t work out for the better (but baby, who hasn’t)
And these are the things I call normal
You call me recluse but won’t work through your trauma

[PREChorus]
'cause the traffic could have run me over
You see it once and it keeps you sober for life
And what a life

[Chorus]
I’ve learned lessons with my hand unburned
I saw the demons and I drew the curtains
Silent bliss, not tragic
Found my peace hiding from traffic

[POST Chorus]
I’ve had good and bad days, dreams are like that
Sprawling misty fields, couldn’t pay me to go back
Home sweet home, A star throne
Thank god I ran from the cyclone
