[Verse 1]
Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them

[Verse 2]
If I seem bleak, well, you'd be correct
And if I don't speak, it's 'cause I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned by the reflection of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

[Chorus]
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun

[Verse 3]
(Hey!) When I ran, I didn't feel like a runaway
(Hey!) When I escaped, I didn't feel like I got away
(Hey!) There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying
[Verse 4]
Though you hear me, I don't think that you relate
My will is something that you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated by destruction in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

[Chorus]
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa

[Verse 3]
(Hey!) When I ran, I didn't feel like a runaway
(Hey!) When I escaped, I didn't feel like I got away
(Hey!) There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

[Verse 4]
Though you hear me, I don't think that you relate
My will is something that you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated by destruction in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

[Chorus]
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa
[Verse 1]
(Hey!) Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
(Hey!) Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
(Hey!) Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them

[Verse 2]
If I seem bleak, well, you'd be correct
And if I don't speak, it's 'cause I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned by the reflection of the fire in your eyes
As you're staring at the sun

[Chorus]
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
Whoa
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
