Sleeping at the Wheel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I, I could be anything
But for the fault that I've acquired on my way
We, we were the end of it
But now we see the sun shining in our face
We see the sun shining in our face

[Chorus]
So come on, come on we can be saved
The lives we live, the wars we wage
When everyone just tells us how to feel
We're sleeping at the wheel

[Verse 2]
And I, I would give anything
But for the grace of God, I'm here and still aware
We know the end is overrated
We've become the walls we raise
We don't believe enough but we still cared
Standing on the edge without a prayer

[Chorus]
So come on, come on it's all we got
Our hands are full, our lives are not
The loose affiliation with the real
We're sleeping at the wheel

[Bridge]
All of the time we've lost
All of the love we gave
And now these hands are tied
I can't help thinking
That I was in a daze I was losing my place
I was screaming out at everything
Waiting for the walls to come down
Before my moments starts to fade
But everything that's perfect falls away

[Chorus]
So come on, come on we can be saved
The lives we live, the wars we wage
When everyone just tells us how to feel
We're sleeping at the wheel
We're sleeping at the wheel
Just sleeping at the wheel

About

This song bio is unreviewed

Sleeping at the Wheel is a song about realizing that you always have potential to do what you can with the life you were given. It follows an arc of the narrator admitting that they felt like they have done nothing and can do nothing, but then deciding that it is never too late to change, and to do otherwise is to be “sleeping at the wheel”.
