White Knuckles

I hate goodbyes especially ones I can't predict And how the wreckage isn't something I could fix It makes me sick to even think I have no say in it at all This feeling forms a constant knot inside my chest I go to sleep but they don't ever seem to rest Cause even in my dreams I'm afraid to drift off course I keep steering Timing the lights Cause what I fear the worst Is heading straight in Without knowing what's coming first So I got a tight grip on the wheel ten and two Never take any turns stay the route Control Don't let go I'm so scared that what I have will be gone in a flash But that might be what drives me to crash And burn When will I learn White knuckle driving never gets me too far I love the power when my fate is in my hands But there's a chance the universe has greater plans And I'm stalling destiny And everything that's meant for me There's still this hanging dread It won't be like in my head So even if it's a mess I keep steering Timing the lights Cause what I fear the worst Is heading straight in Without knowing what's coming first So I got a tight grip on the wheel ten and two Never take any turns stay the route Control don't let go I'm so scared that what I have will be gone in a flash But that might be what drives me to crash And burn When will I learn White knuckle driving never gets me too far If I give up control Will it all fall down If I finally let go Will it all fall down Will it all fall down Will it all fall down If my tight grip on the wheel doesn't help Cause I'm still vulnerable, can't protect My heart From coming apart Why do I always try to force things to last Letting go doesn't mean it'll crash And burn When will I learn White knuckle driving never gets me too far
