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
