Asleep At The Wheel Lyrics
it's taking a lot out of me
to tell you how long it will be
before i can spend some sweet time with you again
(sweet time)
i'm hoping i'll be finding success
(you know you will)
you know that i'll be trying my best
(you know i will)
the thousands of miles will not make me love you less
so i'll see the world while you stay home
and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness
the dotted lines show us where we're supposed to go
we stay inside them in fear that we'll lose control
the night falls and the lights they provoke a thought of you
so think what you want of me
i'm leaving
i'll be falling asleep at the wheel
for once in my life i can say i am right about something
i've never been this positively certain
i'm leaving
fill me up with unleaded regular
we've got 500 miles before this night is over
by this time tomorow i'll be filling up again
so think what you want of me
i'm leaving
i'll be falling asleep at the wheel
trace the moment
trace the time
find the second i lost my mind
'cause i've been thinking for the longest time about me and you
so i'll see the world while you stay home
(ive been thinking about me and you)
and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness
(ive been thinking about me and you)
so i'll see the world while you stay home
(what are we going to do?)
and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness
(what are we going to do?)
for once in my life i can say i am right about something
i've never been this positively certain
i'm leaving
to tell you how long it will be
before i can spend some sweet time with you again
(sweet time)
(you know you will)
you know that i'll be trying my best
(you know i will)
the thousands of miles will not make me love you less
and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness
we stay inside them in fear that we'll lose control
the night falls and the lights they provoke a thought of you
i'm leaving
i'll be falling asleep at the wheel
i've never been this positively certain
i'm leaving
we've got 500 miles before this night is over
by this time tomorow i'll be filling up again
i'm leaving
i'll be falling asleep at the wheel
trace the time
find the second i lost my mind
'cause i've been thinking for the longest time about me and you
(ive been thinking about me and you)
and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness
(ive been thinking about me and you)
(what are we going to do?)
and i'll drive these roads paved in loneliness
(what are we going to do?)
i've never been this positively certain
i'm leaving

amazingggg song, its a shame this band isnt really well-known. i love when its slow and then it bursts into "...the dotted line..."
awesome! gets me every time!
i think this song is about a long distnce relationship he's having, and he is trying to figure out when to see her, but can't find any time. He's saying he's going to love her, even though she live far away. I love this song
to me it seems like he's travelling, she's at home & misses him & wants to know when he can spend more time with her.
this song is about a guy that is totally head over heals about one special girl and he just wants to spend every moment with her, even though they are far apart
how cute
this has got to be, one of my favorite songs ever. deff. on the top 10 list in my book. :)
well erm, i think this songs about how they're so in love with each other, and the guy is becomming famous "i'm hoping i'll be finding success, you know that i'll be trying my best" and how he will never forget the girl and even tho theyre so far away, he will still continue loving her.
& i absolute love it
this song kills me right now my long distance boyfriend just broke up with me..
basically this reminds me of how i will do anything to get him and all the miles dont even matter to me
I think the journey can also be meant more figuratively speaking. As the singer has to do/achieve something first and he's hoping that in the end they will find eachother again. Because in this point in life there is something else that has to be done first:
for once in my life i can say i am right about something i've never been this positively certain i'm leaving
So, it doesn't sound as if the singer is sure about them meeting again, but he hopes so, because he loves the person he's singing about.
