asleep at the wheel
I was born out of love And given a chance Playing with fast cars  There were so many children Born with no choices Stealing their hearts  Now look at the downside Making it harder To survive, yeah  So hard to imagine When taking 'bout strangers Against your will  You swallow in silence With petrified tears Bound and so still  God knows what you're thinking This life as you knew it Has just disappeared  We've been asleep at the wheel Wrapped up and what do we feel? Living beyond all our means Burning and living the dream  So many years of not knowing With false talk and letdowns When hope is a wish  You would have stayed in denial Don't even try to escape It don't exist  Up high on the hill It's no place for conscience It's your only fight  We've been asleep at the wheel Wrapped up and what do we feel? Living beyond all our means Burning and living the dream We're only here for the moment It's slow when you wanted speed  So many life's and lies Time has taken its toll, it's true We'll never give up on you One day you'll be free  I've been asleep at the wheel Wrapped up and what do I feel? Living beyond all my means Burning and living the dream We're only here for a moment It's slow when you wanted speed
