Keep moving, change lanes later
Keep moving, change
Keep moving, change lanes later.
There’s time
To change your lane,
To change your plans,
To change your world,
To understand,
To change your mind
In time.
Keep moving, change lanes later
Keep moving, change
Keep moving, change lanes later
There’s time.
There’s time.
