I guess I oughta tell you what´s been going on
Well I´ve been chasing dreams for everyone but me.
When your heart is filled with misery
It´s hard to find the energy
To remember just how much she means to me.

Well I keep everything inside so long till it burns
Everybody stokes the fire and the walls get a little higher.
I light the candle at both ends
And I hit the gas, the wheels start to spin
But she´s always there to catch me when I fall.

´Cause I´ve been hell on wheels for days now
There ain´t a shade of red I can´t paint
When the lights go down, she always helps me see.
In the darkness a day will come
Another light for you to lean upon
But until then maybe your heart
Can rest in mine.

I just can´t get the hang of hanging on
Every time I try to grab it, the will is gone.
When she looks into my eyes
She sees a man she used to recognize
And not the stranger trying to go it all alone.
Maybe someday I´ll see exactly what she sees in me.
Maybe someday I´ll be exactly who she wants me to be.
Maybe someday I´ll have the strength to run into the man that I once was
But right now I think I´ll walk into a crawl.

´Cause I´ve been hell on wheels for days now
There ain´t a shade of red I can´t paint
When the lights go down, she always helps me see.
In the darkness a day will come
Another light for you to lean upon
But until then maybe your heart
Can rest in mine.
