Driving With The Brakes On

Lyrics

[Verse] Driving through the long night Trying to figure who's right and who's wrong Now the kid has gone I sit belted up tight She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze Steering on [Pre-Chorus] And I might be more of a man If I stopped this in its tracks and say "come on, let's go home" But she's got the wheel And I've got nothing except what I have on [Chorus] When you're driving with the brakes on When you're swimming with your boots on It's hard to say you love someone And it's hard to say you don't [Verse] Trying to keep the mood right Trying to steer the conversation from The thing we've done She shuts up the ashtray and I say "It's a long way back now, hon" And she just yawns [Pre-Chorus] And we might get lost someplace so desolate that no one where we're from would ever come But she's got the wheel And I've got to deal from now on [Chorus] When you're driving with the brakes on When you're swimming with your boots on It's hard to say you love someone And it's hard to say you don't [Break] But unless the moon falls tonight, unless continents collide Nothing's gonna make me break from her side [Chorus] 'Cause when you're driving with the brakes on When you're swimming with your boots on It's hard to say you love someone And it's hard to say you don't [Outro] When you're driving with the brakes on When you're driving with the brakes on
