Driving home to be with you
The highway's dividing, the city's in view
As usual i'm almost on time
You're the last thing that's on my mind
I wish i could tell you the way that i feel
But tonight is the night i fell asleep at the wheel
ย
No commotion, no screaming brakes
Most of it's over before I awake
From the ceiling my coffee cup drips
While out my window the horizon does flips
The worst part was hitting the ground
Not the feeling so much as the sound
Can't help but wonder if all this is real 'cause
Tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
ย
Rubberneck traffic and passers-by
Slow motion Walter the fire engine guy
Stand around with their mouths open wide
I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside
With the jaws of life they tried and they tried
Nobody here can know how I feel 'cause
Tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
I guess it's over now
Because i've never seen so much
Never seen so much
Never seen so much
Never seen so much
I guess it's over now
Because i've never seen so much
Never seen so much
Never seen so much blood
In all the confusion there's something serene
I'm just a posthumous part of the scene
Now i'm floating above looking in
As the radio blares and wheels spin
I can see my face slumped with a grin
And you... you're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
ย
Suddenly things become unsound
Stumbling upon the shaky ground
Given arrows to shoot tornadoes down
Shoot them down
To the ground
ย
Saw a falling leaf, for good luck jump to grab
Much to our surprise, a butterfly
Then it sunk in this enduration
In duration in our lives
ย
Inside ourselves
A hidden sun that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
ย
Shivering madly in the dark
Like an animal abandoned in the car park
And she held me and then she showed me the
Beauty of the human heart
ย
Inside ourselves
A hidden sun that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
A hidden sun that burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
ย
Anyone
Anyone
Hidden Sun
Hidden Sun
