This is my third single, serving as an early teaser for the upcoming album: Floating in the Backseat While the World Goes By

lyrics

My Car is a Campfire
And I take it with me nearly everywhere I go

Things all around me pulling me away from what's real
Filling my mind with wasted time and it's making me feel
Like I need to be free from the air that I breath
It's all around me
Let's break away, let's have a getaway for a while
You and me we're gonna live our lives in style

I took a walk today with a good friend of mine
Went to a place up high where we could see the skyline
I thought a lot about things I can't live without
The hours I've burnt up driving miles and miles
And how it probably won't matter in a little while
You and me we're gonna live our lives in style

My car is a campfire
And I take it with me nearly everywhere I go
The world is my travel guide
And it's full of things that I wanna know
