Take the Wheel

I've told you 'bout the weather

It must have rained for hours

I couldn't stand the silence so I battered you with flowers

There's violence in the city

I've been going 'round unsteady

I can't drive no more

There's smoke on the horizon

That fades into the darkness

The road goes on forever but my vision's lost its sharpness

The screen is smeared with panic

My directions are uncertain

I can't drive no more

I'm tired and sore so

Please turn the light down 'til it's low

Put that gun away

There's nothing more to know

Is there anybody out there

Who can take the wheel?

Oh, I hope you understand, let it all be known

That I tried to be a man

Is there anybody out there who could take the wheel?

That day I heard some Gershwin

From a window in the city

I drove you 'round empowered like some big shot Walter Mitty

You laughed and called me crazy

Sure I don't deserve your pity

I can't drive no more

My knuckles white with pressure

My eyes are red from staring

I thought I saw the exit

But again I've lost my bearings

I'm going 'round in circles with feelings so unwanted

I can't drive no more

Tired and sore so

Please turn the light down 'til it's low

Put that gun away

There's nothing more to know

Is there anybody out there

Who can take the wheel?

Oh, I hope you understand, let it all be known

That I tried to be a man

Is there anybody out there who could take the wheel?

Who could take the wheel?

Who could take the wheel?

Who can take the wheel?
