Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodgin' bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them
If I seem bleak, well, you'd be correct
And if I don't speak, it's because I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes as you're staring at the sun
[Verse 2]
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
[Verse 3]
When I ran, I didn't feel like a runaway
When I escaped, I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to livin' then only survivin'
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying
Though you hear me, I don't think that you relate
My will is something that you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes as you're staring at the sun
[Verse 4]
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
Whoa
[Verse 5]
When I ran, I didn't feel like a runaway
When I escaped, I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to livin' than only survivin'
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still tryin'
Though you hear me, I don't think that you relate
My will is somethin' that you can't confiscate
So forgive me but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes as your staring at the sun
[Verse 6]
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
Whoa
[Verse 7]
Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodgin' bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them
If I seem bleak, well, you'd be correct
And if I don't speak, it's because I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes as you're staring at the sun
[Verse 8]
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
Whoa, as you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
