It's no good, it's too pat
I can't just sing a final song
Say so long and leave it at that
It's alright, I've got time
So I didn't hitch a ride on a rocket to the top
I'll get there in a steady climb
What did it mean, what have I learned?
Crossing bridges before they're burned
Leading life instead of being led
Using my head, what's it about?
Did I lose innocence going in or gain experience coming out?
What did it mean, what have I learned?
Eating off tables before their turn
Living life instead of playing dead
Throwing down the pencil and grabbing a pen
Taking the wheel, driving again
Throwing down the pencil and writing in ink
This is how I feel, this is what I think
Dreaming again and making those dreams real
No big deal, I'll hit my stride
If I'm not breaking the ribbon at the end of the race
It's only 'cause I haven't tried
What did it mean, what have I learned?
Taking the credit I know I've earned
Waking up and flying out of bed
Throwing down the pencil and grabbing a pen
Taking the wheel, driving again
Throwing down the pencil and writing in ink
This is how I feel, this is what I think
Dreaming again and making those dreams real
Taking the wheel
I've been in the backseat long enough
Tagging along for the ride
I've been in the backseat long enough to know
Oh, that you never get what you deserve
If you never can decide
There's only one way to get where you wanna go
Throwing down the pencil and grabbing a pen
Taking the wheel, driving again
Throwing down the pencil and writing in ink
This is how I feel, this is what I think
Dreaming again and making those dreams real
Taking the wheel
I've been in the backseat long enough
Tagging along for the ride
I've been in the backseat long enough to know
That you never get what you deserve
If you never can decide
There's only one way to get where you wanna go
Throwing down the pencil and grabbing a pen
Taking the wheel, driving again
Throwing down the pencil and writing in ink
This is how I feel, this is what I think
Dreaming again and making those dreams real
Dreaming again and making those dreams real
Dreaming again and making those dreams so real
Taking the wheel
