Riding The Brakes

Forgive me, I didn't give you the benefit

You gave me no reason not to believe you, hmm

But I don't and I don't know why

Why I did what I did

Something in that room must've moved me

But I'll try real hard to figure it out

I'll try so hard

In the meantime, I'll wear myself out

But I won't let down my guard

Give me one reason why I shouldn't be riding the brakes

And I'll lift up, turn, try to take your pace

But don't go rocking on my ignition

If we got 9 lives, then 8 of my cards are gone

I got no time left to be righting my wrongs

So where's the ace? Cause I'm not listening

It's funny how my past seems to overcome

What could have been perfect

But I see it all through a, a muddy sky

I can't say there won't be regret

Huh, cause you never rehearse it

It just finds a way to tunnel on out

Some stranger way

Before you know it, you're dead in doubt

You've lost before you've played

Oh, give me one reason why I shouldn't be riding the brakes

And I'll lift up, turn, try to take your pace

But don't go rocking on my ignition

If we got 9 lives, then 8 of my cards are gone

I got no time left to be righting my wrongs

So where's the ace? Cause I'm not listening

I'm not listening

But if you see it fit to hold on out til later

It'd be cool if you'd lift me with one favor

And give me one reason why I shouldn't be riding the brakes

And I'll lift up, turn, try to take your pace

But don't go rocking on my ignition, come on

If we got 9 lives, then 8 of my cards are gone

I got no time left to be righting my wrongs

So where's the ace? Cause I'm not listening

I'm not listening, oh no
