[Verse 1]
The rhythm of the wheels, as life abandons shape
Skip to something new, no one ever sees the fake, but me

Nighttime lights up my days
Helps me to count the ways

[Chorus]
The reality of it all, is that it's just begun
I can try to turn away, but it won't let me run
I can dream of escape, of a life I'll never see
That'll haunt me when I wake, the attempt to be free

[Verse 2]
I long for sleep, because my dreams are better than reality
It seems I'm one step away from knowing what it is like to break

[Chorus 2]
The reality of it all, is that it's just begun
I can try to turn away, but it won't let me run
I can dream of escape, in a life I'll never see
That'll haunt me when I wake, the attempt to be free

The car is full of life and love, escape from destiny
All this time, why can't that be me?

[Chorus 3]
And the reality of it all, is that it's all just begun
I can try to turn away, but it'll never let me run
I still dream of escape, of a life I'll never see
It'll haunt me when I wake, all these attempts to be free

Why me?
Why can't that be me?
