Taking the Wheel (feat. Gavin Creel & It’s Only Life Company)

It's no good
It's too pat
I can't just play a final song
Say, So long
And leave it at that

It's alright
I've got time

So I didn't hit you right on
I'll rocket to the top
I'll get there in a steady climb
What did it mean
What have I learned
Crossing bridges before they're burned
Leading life instead of being led

Using my head
What's it about
Did I lose innocence going in
Or gain experience coming out
What did it mean
What have I learned
Eating off tables before they're turned
Living life instead of playing dead

Throwing down the pencil and grabbing a pen
Taking the wheel, driving again
Throwing down the pencil and writing in ink
This is how I feel
This is what I think
Dreaming again
And making those dreams real

No big deal
I'll hit my stride
If I'm not breaking the ribbon at the end of the race
It's only 'cause I haven't tried
What did it mean
What have I learned
Taking the credit I know I've earned
Waking up and flying out of bed

Throwing down the pencil and grabbing a pen
Taking the wheel, driving again
Throwing down the pencil and writing in ink
This is how I feel
This is what I think
Dreaming again
And making those dreams real
Taking the wheel

I've been in the back seat long enough
Tagging along for the ride
I've been in the back seat long enough to know
That you never get what you deserve
If you never can decide
There's only one way to get where you want to go

Throwing down the pencil and grabbing a pen
Taking the wheel, driving again
Throwing down the pencil and writing in ink
This is how I feel
This is what I think
Dreaming again
And making those dreams real
Taking the wheel

I've been in the back seat long enough
Tagging along for the ride
I've been in the back seat long enough to know
That you never get what you deserve
If you never can decide
There's only one way to get where you want to go

Throwing down the pencil and grabbing a pen
Taking the wheel, driving again
Throwing down the pencil and writing in ink
This is how I feel
This is what I think
Dreaming again
And making those dreams real
Dreaming again
And making those dreams so real
Taking the wheel
