Lyrics
Just when I think I've got it
Just when I get it all worked out
About the time I'm telling others how
And then I start to lose it
And soon I'm back where I've begun
I'm on my face and I'm wondering, "how?"
I've got this feeling, I've been living on borrowed time
And I can't run this show no more
I'm goin' crazy
I been thinkin', maybe
I'm here for the ride
With my hands upon the wheel, my head is spinin'
Heaven knows I'm willing
I need you to drive
They tell me I'm amazing
They slap my back, and it's alright
Meanwhile I'm hiding these feelings inside
With every step I'm taking
I feel I'm one more step behind
I'm out of breath and I'm losing my mind
I've got this feeling, I've been living on borrowed time
And I can't run this show no more
I'm goin' crazy
I been thinkin', maybe
I'm here for the ride
With my hands upon the wheel, my head is spinin'
Heaven knows I'm willing
I need you to drive
And when this feelin' rises
I'm goin, outa' my mind
Now there's just one door open
And I just know you're inside
I've got this feeling, I've been living on borrowed time
I can't run this show no more
I've been thinkin', maybe
hands upon the wheel, my head is spinin'
And I can't run this show no more
I'm goin' crazy
I been thinkin', maybe
I'm here for the ride
With my hands upon the wheel, my head is spinin'
Heaven knows I'm willing
I need you to drive
I've got this feeling, I've been living on borrowed time....(repeat and fade)
