about

Within the cacophonous, but highly orchestrated, rock trances is a writing process steeped in tradition. The Highway adheres to the mantra of less is more, and there is order here in the chaos of sound. Starting with simple chords, the band creates a spacious structure in which to elaborate. ... more

Track Name: Just Like You Said
In my life there 's something missing I don't know what it is
For a second I thought I knew but no that wasn't it

I look at the people that I pass by everyday But everybody looks away I’m here in the open you can see it in my face I always know when you’re afraid

Now my behavior seems a little out of place
since you've been gone I got no business to mind but my own
Every now and then I see an image that
reminds me of the time when I could hear
the sounds that are gone

I woke up this morning I had nothing left to do than sharing all my love with you Enjoying the freedom that I found within my pain there'd be no calm with after the rain

Now my behavior seems a little out of place
since you've been gone I got no business to mind but my own
Every now and then I see an image that
reminds me of the time when I could hear
the sounds that are gone

Just like you said I still got time to figure out, everything she said
Track Name: Frozen Sun
Years have gone and I still miss home
This place is not the same but my passion calls
Many many miles away
And I’m stuck with nothing but a sour taste

Well many have come and many have gone insane
I’m nearly done I can no longer play this game

In the morning I’ll be fine
Lady of my love you’re the sweetest wine
We’re two people with one crime
And now we’re gonna bring a third to life

Frozen sun what have you done
Golden moon why have you condemned me to this doom

All these years have taken their toll
Forgive me honey when I can’t show my love
Carry me if I ever fall
The children aren’t alone who know this force

I wish they could see there’s nothing more pure than peace
Nothing seems real when you can not live with ease

Frozen sun what have you done?
Golden moon why have you condemned me to this doom?
Track Name: Set Me Free
A thousand words won’t define what’s fair
Another handshake thrown away
There is a message after all
but you’re still waiting for the call

Will you cope with me when I get older
Are you listening to anything I say?
Now I recognize the pattern tell me nothing Really matters

Set me free

Another car is left in flames
Another town house blown away
There is a message you once said
Please don’t come smiling if you want me dead

Will you cope with me when I get older
Are you listening to anything I say?
Now I recognize the pattern tell me nothing Really matters

Set me free
Track Name: Forest People
Eyes are growing heavy but I can't fall asleep
Walking down these empty streets
Wake up in the darkness floating down a stream
Nothing's what it seems to be


(Listen to the people in the forest as we talk about their troubles)
Can you hear the sound of the mothers and the children, are we old enough to break the spell?
(Looking for an answer to an everlasting as they struggle to survive)
Don't you feel the warmth of the forest question when it's time to say good bye ?

Heading towards an ocean where waves can't reach the shore
Tell me what you're aiming for
Time sits while we ponder gazing through the past
Nothing's ever built to last

(Listen to the people in the forest as we talk about their troubles)
Can you hear the sound of the mothers and the children, are we old enough to break the spell?
(Looking for an answer to an everlasting as they struggle to survive)
Don't you feel the warmth of the forest question when it's time to say good bye ?

Waiting for the morning reviews
Give me something I can use
To keep me thinking this way

(Listen to the people in the forest as we talk about their troubles)
Can you hear the sound of the mothers and the children, are we old enough to break the spell?
(Looking for an answer to an everlasting as they struggle to survive)
Don't you feel the warmth of the forest question when it's time to say good bye ?
Track Name: Song For The World
Can see this world is breaking up for me again
And I forgot what life was like with out you
Cold blues have come
I’m glad to see you but my brain’s already washed
And it takes time to make a love as real as mine

Oh des temps en temps je pense a toi Peut-etre que toi aussi parfois ma belle Les couloures de cette histoire ne son pas les memes Mais notre amour n’a pas change

There something is changing on your mind I’ve heard before that love may change before within a day With you life’s free
I’m glad to see you but my brain’s already washed
And it takes time to understand a twisted mind.

La ragazza del mio cuore Io la cerco non la trovo dove stai Questa storia e finita stato morto Cinque mesi ma non piu.

Invito al mundo entero hoy que canten esta nueva cancion
Como escape del dolor y auqnue sea espero yo
Que se logren 3 minutos de absoluta hermandad
Y se borren ya las razas la perfecta ignorancia es el terror

Invito al mundo entero hoy que canten esta nueva cancion
Y aunque sea espero yo, que unos vean el error
De humanos negligentes como chavez y fidel
Que se borren ya las razas la perfecta ignorancia es el terror
Y busquemos la respuesta en el amor
Track Name: The Sun's Gonna Shine
When I was young I was trying to escape away from home
But I was young
Now I am old It’s so funny how cartoons can talk
On their own

I tried so hard to be a man but I was young
I tried so hard to get it right but I was wrong
I tried so hard to see the light
The Sun’s gonna shine when it has to shine

Yeah I was young I was trying to get a hold from god
there was no one
Now I am old And the devil’s sitting here at home
On his throne

Well I sold my soul for a pint of gold as I grew up
I had no chance to get it back and I blew up
I try so hard to see the light
The Sun’s gonna shine when it has to shine

I’ll never be on my knees Cos
I was born just like this

I can admit I thought I had changed the worl.d
from the day that I was born,
then mother nature taught me
you've got a hold on to your soul, today you leave tomorrow no

I’ll never be on my knees Cos I was born just like this
Don’t fuxxxin care if you are pleased
Track Name: Nothing I Can Do
Been over worked and underpaid
I can’t believe I’ve spent my youth in vain Is it too late?

Oh no I don't believe it’s true
You’re telling me there’s nothing I can do To get away

If you’re going to survive you gotta learn to play the game

Been oh so long since I’ve been home
I try to live my life but growing old Is such a shame

If you’re going to survive you gotta learn to play the game

Let’s find us a land beside the sea Before I go crazy
I’ll build you a house where we could be So careless and lazy
Track Name: Constantly Fighting
Constantly Fighting all the traffic in town
Some people tell me that is wearing me down
Loosing my vision because I’m standing too close
I’ll wait in the kitchen if you’re still on the phone

All that matter is tonight the only one here is you

You are on in a million but that's never enough
My heart's on the table are you calling my bluff
I’m all out of money and I’m all out of time
I’m meeting my maker and I’m next in line

All that matter is tonight the only one here is you
Track Name: Last Race
Broken windows all around
Early warning not a sound
People one by one awaken thinking they’ve got it down

Someone’s knocking at the door
Hear the foot steps through the floor
The walls are caving in I don’t know what to think any more

Could you tell me if I’m right or wrong or just growing up
I’ve raised against the ocean and the setting sun and I’ve never won

When you listen to your voice
Who’s the one that makes the noise
Everything this world creates is born within your mind

Could you tell me if I’m right or wrong or just growing up
I’ve raised against the ocean and the setting sun and I’ve never won

Someone’s knocking at the door
Hear the foot steps through the floor
The walls are caving in I don’t know what to think any more

Could you tell me if I’m right or wrong or just growing up
I’ve raised against the ocean and the setting sun and I’ve never won
Track Name: Underneath One Sky
I know it’s such a drag to bring you down
from the trip you have been on
Nothing last forever get it straight before you’re old

I’d like to shake the hands of those few friends
The few I still respect
Strangers seem to answer riddles I can’t comprehend

Every now and then I try
To help you through but see my hand are tied

Remember all the time we had to spend
Praying night and day
No one ever told me I should fill an empty space

I’m keeping track of how much time I’ve lost
And how much has it cost
I will set the rules before you tell me what to do

Every now and then I cry
I’m a man with nothing left to hide

Underneath One sky
We all have to smile and cry
Underneath one sky
We all have to grow and die

Stand for yourself, for your fellow man
Track Name: The Summer is Fading Away
Meet me in the kitchen tell me what you think
if I sing too slowly's cos I had too much to drink
If you think I'm lazy check your self instead today
you think you are living but tomorrow you'll be dead

The Summer is Fading Away my love has gone away

Please don't ask me why I'm asking so strange
Please be aware the future's something we can change

Meet me in the kitchen tell me what you think
if I sing too slowly's cos I had too much to drink

The Summer is Fading Away my love has gone away
