Avoiding The Swerve

Avoiding The Swerve
Time slipped right by me
It didn't stop to take a look
Everybody knows my story,
It's wriiten on the pages
Of an open book
I thought I had my defenses
I fell victim to sleeping all day
Got caught up in false pretenses
Can't let that get in my way

Chorus
But I can drive all night
To get away from what I saw
Another time, another place, another day...
I take a look back at my better half
Or should I say at the other six?
I can look back a laugh at mistakes
That I know that I just cannot fix
I thought I had my defenses
I'm pretending to sleep all day
Got mixed up in my intentions
Can't let that get in my way
Chorus.....

To get away, to get away...
Another place, another day, another time.
Slips through my mind
