The Wheel

I wake on the driveway
My hands on the wheel
Wondering how the hell I got here
Now you're gone
I've finally found
A tunnel turning into blinding light

I didn't mean to wake you up
I've just been struggling to sleep
I've been on autopilot cruise-control
Since I was seventeen

Since I got sexy
I've been questioning the deal
And now it's wrapped around my finger
After years of being
Asleep behind the wheel

Asleep behind the wheel
Asleep behind the wheel
Slowly outgrowing the moment you told me
You were all that I need

The sweet smell of petrol
The fog starts to lift
Life was just a ring road until this

I didn't mean to wake you up
I just got something in my teeth
Tastes like the hangover from
Being drunk in love at twenty three
And I forgive you, with an asterisk, you see
Cos I was dreaming such a pretty dream, back
When I was asleep behind the wheel

Asleep behind the wheel
Asleep behind the wheel
Slowly outgrowing the moment you told me
You were all that I need
All that I need
All that I need
