Hands Off the Wheel

At night I grind my teeth

In the day I forget to breathe

To you, I'd like to be near

But my thoughts are far from here

And where they go

I follow

It's hands off the wheel

It's foot on the gas, full speed ahead

There go my thoughts again

My heart's racing now

Who cut the breaks inside my head?

I'm spinning fast, stuck sputtering

Sorry, what's that you said?

I was busy telling stories in my head

'Scuse me, I'm just squeezing through

I didn't mean to spill myself on you

It's hands off the wheel

It's foot on the gas, full speed ahead

There go my thoughts again

My heart's racing now

Who cut the breaks inside my head?

I'm spinning fast, stuck sputtering

"Come home," my body calls to me

Let go of what you're holding

There are things you cannot control

Like a hiccup on the road

And where I go, you follow

It's hands off the wheel

It's foot on the gas, full speed ahead

There go my thoughts again

My heart's racing now

Who cut the breaks inside my head?

I'm spinning fast, stuck sputtering
