lyrics

You’re in the back, I’m at the wheel
The others interchange like they were never even real
Eyes on the road, I look straight ahead
Just in case my amber finally turns to red
And I can feel it slipping away
Barely got a grip on the world I knew today

Wake me up
I see the wheel spin and I can’t slow it down
Or turn this dream around
Drop me out
The car is moving faster and there is no brake
So you’ve got to wake me up

The car’s disappeared, It’s on a roll
I’m still tryin’ to steer it with some cheap remote control
Guessing the turns, I’m driving blind
Swerving broken pieces of my mind
And I can feel it slipping away
This is not a game that I ever wish to play

Wake me up
I see the wheel spin and I can’t slow it down
Or turn this dream around
Drop me out
The car is moving faster and there is no brake
So you’ve got to wake me up

Something’s running through my veins
That can’t be real
So someone tell my brain

And everybody’s left me for dust
Tryin’ to hitch a ride with a driver they can trust
And that’s why you must

Wake me up
I see the wheel spin and I can’t slow it down
Or turn this dream around
Drop me out
The car is moving faster and there is no brake
So you’ve got to wake me up

Iain Hornal St Albans, UK

Songer/singwriter and touring member of 10cc & Jeff Lynne's ELO. Many streams of influence flow through Iain's music - flashes of classic rock that suggest David Bowie, Tom Petty & Elvis Costello blend with the lush harmony and rich textures of The Beach Boys and Crowded House. His music is undeniably pop, but drawn from an era when pop music had a brain, a soul, and a heart. ... more
