lyrics

Windows rolled up
My gears are stuck in park
I hope I see the light
Before the sky gets dark
Cause I wanna mean something
It’s about time now, but I wanna mean something, somehow

Last night I saw myself sitting at your table
But I can’t hold my breath any more

Turn the cold on
Volume at the side
Been spinning this tale
The better part of my life, haven't I?
My back windshield tells no lie
I see myself, and all I've left behind
I just wanted to mean something
Put aside what I said, I just wanted to mean something
I still do now, I still do now

Every light that passes overhead
Changes colour every thousand miles
But the last one never came
I’ve got a way of sort of holding up a frame and hoping to see something, anything

Last night I held myself hostage behind the wheel
Wondering what it’s all been for

Sometimes it seems like a never ending drive
Been winding this trail the better part of my life, haven’t I?
I have the same dream about the same road every night
But as it disappears from the corner of my eye
I think maybe it means something
Clenching my fists, and I wish I knew why
Maybe it means something, I wish I knew now, I wish I knew now

Every omen goes over my head
I looked away for just a little while
But the last one never came
I’ve got a way of holding up a frame
And hoping to see something, anything

Last night I saw a mirage in the rearview mirror
I don’t know what I looked back for
Last night I saw myself climbing through the window
Will I ever see the front door?
