"Getaway Driver" lyrics

"Getaway Driver"

The story begins
Another dead end
I find myself in
Waking up all through the night
I try to quiet my mind
Headlights keep passing me by
Passing me by

So I look for a sign on the side of the road
'Cause I'm lost and I don't know where I'ma go
Can you show me?
'Cause I gave you the wheel and you never let go
But I'm taking it back and I'm driving home away

And I tell myself I was so much more
So much more than this
It's a lonely road down to self-control
The one who holds the keys
I'll be my getaway, getaway driver
Getaway, getaway driver
Getaway, getaway driver

Yeah, I've played it safe
I've made my mistakes
All the choices I've made
It's taken me time to realize
I am the dark and the light
Know that I trust the divine
My internal guide

So I look for a sign on the side of the road
'Cause I'm lost and I don't know where I'ma go
Can you show me?
'Cause I gave you the wheel and you never let go
But I'm taking it back and I'm driving home away

And I tell myself I was so much more
So much more than this
It's a lonely road down to self-control
The one who holds the keys
I'll be my getaway, getaway driver
Getaway, getaway driver
Getaway, getaway driver
I'll be my getaway, getaway driver
Getaway, getaway driver
Getaway, getaway driver

And I tell myself I was so much more
So much more than this
It's a lonely road down to self-control
The one who holds the keys
