Wheel - Quiet Hollers

I don’t wanna die behind the wheel

But there’s a way I start to feel

When my mind is drifting sideways

I’m drifting in and out of lanes

Running circles in my brain

I’ve ended many nights this way

When you get old enough to see things as they are

I hope you’re still young enough to care

When the magic falls away from everything you know

And it gets so

But I don’t wanna die behind the wheel

And, god, if you can get me through this one

I’ll start believing in you

Change my act and go to school

Turn me any shade of blue

I know I pushed my luck a few too many times

To be just fine

Over a thousand miles of bloodied yellow lines

And I don’t wanna freeze out in the rain

Let me dry my clothes and die of shame

Naked and scared like first I came

I didn’t wanna die behind the wheel

In my avatar of glass and steel

Trying to collide with something real

I thought that I might look and see things as they were

I thought I was young enough to care

But I watched my friends recede like waves

Trying to hold onto the beach

And I brush their fingertips with mine

But they float out of reach

Now keep your eyes on the road, Jack

I plan to make it home tonight

If it kills me, I don’t care, no I don’t mind

If it kills me, I don’t care, no I don’t mind
