Lyrics
I'll take a chance on your distance
Though you're laying here with me tonight,
Feel's like you're already gone
Take my lack of resistance
Take it any way you want it now,
Just don't tel me its wrong
Chorus 2X
Your heart
Your heart's like a wheel
Turning away
But you'll be coming back someday
You say you don't want a commitment
Yes, you've decided that your loneliness
Is commitment enough.
Don't let the rainfall remind you,
Of this final night alone with me,
Or the tears that I won't cry.
Cause I won't cry
I just don't care
I won't cry
I won't cry
Chorus 2X
Someday you'll be back
You will be begging me to stay
You will be begging me
You will be begging me
You will be begging me to stay
Driver drive down that highway,
With your wheels spinning round,
With your feet off the ground.
May the circle be unbroken.
I will pray that I may always say
The same for your heart
Chorus 4X
