I saw the hands, the hands of time
Hold me back tie me down
They put those fears into my head
That all is lost and time prevails
I saw the sand in the hourglass
Pouring down, it taunted me
When I awoke behind the wheel
I put my fate into my hands
And so we won’t take our last breath
I will not start again
I will not let this die
I drove all night to be alone with you
I heard a song played by a band
Her chords were mine, but where was I?
Standing off onto the side
Watching my words pass me by
I took the sign as my mind
Asking me “Why not I?”
When I awoke behind the wheel
I took my fate into my hands
So we won’t take our last breath
I will not start again
I will not let this die
I drove all night to be alone with you
I was lost on the highway
Tires spin in the rain
Out of control, but I ain’t losing heart
And all I can see is my headlight’s glare
But I know you’re out there in the dark
But we won’t take our last breath
I will not start again
I will not let this die
I drove all night to be alone with you
