driving with one hand on the wheel

you asked me to dinner

you brought me stuff

now what do i make of that

you made me an offer

i called your bluff

now you're an amnesiac

driving with one hand on the wheel

ordering luck with every meal

feeding on hope again never mind how

small a portion

i said like we do

like we'd like to think

i'll take care of myself

and who would've thought that

initial drink

would clear an entire shelf

driving with one hand on the wheel

ordering luck with every meal

feeding on hope again never mind how

small a portion

you should look at it realistically

i know you couldn't be in love with me

you sat there as dumb

as a dog or cat

just hoping it's for the best

as if anything ever

comes from that

except an appalling mess

driving with one hand on the wheel

ordering luck with every meal

feeding on hope again never mind how

small a portion

now you didn't bank

on the alchemy

that flattery turns to love

but you took that obstructions

will always be

the danger of falling off

driving with one hand on the wheel

not knowing how or what to feel

you only knew that it was enough to be

feeling something
