Light starts in a dark place
The story of a car chase
And I've become the criminal
And fleeing from the scene being caught in a bad dream
The truth becomes the unthinkable, yeah
I'm on the brink of disaster
Staring down the consequences
To break hard would be better
Tonight I'll do what it takes to feel
I'm going there only faster
Jump the gun and throw it into gear
But the fact of the matter
I'm out of control asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Out of control asleep at the wheel
Night falls with no grace
I said I can do anything
But I can do anything wrong
And with burning speed the rearview says he's catching up to me
But I'm already gone
I'm on the brink of disaster
Staring down the consequences
To break hard would be better
Tonight I'll do what it takes to feel
I'm going there only faster
Jump the gun and throw it into gear
But the fact of the matter
I'm out of control asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Tearing it down to open up the highway
We're looking for our exit
No pretending
Speeding out and around with a silvering smash
Staring at a car crash oh
The chase is ending
I'm on the brink of disaster
Staring down the consequences
To break hard would be better
Tonight I'll do what it takes to feel
I'm going there only faster
Jump the gun and throw it into gear
But the fact of the matter
The end is coming
I'm on the brink of disaster
Staring down the consequences
To break hard would be better
I'm out of control asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Out of control asleep at the wheel
