Yellow Lines

Two yellow lines lay out before me

Too many stars to try to count

It’s getting colder now the weather is changing

A little car became a house

 

A gentle nod toward true ambition

A little scared of what comes next

Two yellow lines to where I’m going

Just don’t know where the hell I'm at

Oh the world turns 'round

And people change

But I keep falling

My internal compass keeps on shifting

I don’t know what’s right or wrong no more

Just buckle down and hit the burning pavement for a while

And pray two yellow lines can bring me home

I’m getting sick of small town kindness

And feeling sorry for myself

I guess I lost all my conviction

I figured God would help me out

Oh the world turns round

And habits fade

But I keep falling

My internal compass keeps on shifting

I don’t know what’s north or south no more

Just buckle down and hit the burning pavement

And pray two yellow lines can bring me home

And I'm too afraid to ask for some directions

'Cause in my mind that means I'm letting myself down

Been stuck in second gear for all my life and as it turns out

Sometimes yellow lines can let you down

I thought that time would make me stronger

But then I was a little kid

Who dreamed of superhero powers

And how the world would soon be his

My internal compass keeps on shifting

And there are some things I will never know

But just a few more miles 'till those North Atlantic shores

And soon two yellow lines will bring me home
