Solid, yellow lines and street signs
have become my home
the steering wheel will always heal
no matter where I roam
I don't know where I'm going,
nor I know where I've been.
I don't know where to begin.
so I take the wheel and
drive
He'll drive away
My four-wheel sanctuary
My heart's apothecary,
It saves me when I'm sick and dying,
cathartic and indemnifying
Bench seats and initials carved
on the inside, and its scars,
its broken parts and bruises
Don't heal like mine do
Diner food spanning thirty years
littered on the floor
Blood and tears and cum and beers
spilled throughout the war
I don't know where I'd run
If I left again
I don't know where I should begin
So he'll take the wheel and he'll drive
He'll drive away
Chorus
In Lawrence, at the Roadhouse, Bobby's and the Bat Cave
They're fixed locations and our time with them will fade
In all the dirty cheap motel rooms that I've lived in
Nothing knocks me out better than soft rock and leather seats
From Wichita to Arkansas
From sea to shining sea,
It'll always be my bro and me
you know just where we'll be
The driver's (the shot gun) seat
with windows down,
en route to an inn
I don't know where I should begin
So we'll take the wheel and he'll drive
We'll drive away
We'll drive away

Sevin Saves the World

You can save the world tomorrow.
I could save the world today.
You can save the world tomorrow.
I could have done it by yesterday.
It's not easy to be selfish
when only you can read the tome
you can save (I can't save) the world tomorrow
and then we ('cause I can't) go back home.
You can save the world tomorrow. And then you can go home.
(instrumental)
I was once studious like you,
I'd hit the books e-ver-y night, too,
but my world flipped upside-down
when my brother said, Sammy
We've got some work to do.
So I sacrificed my whole life for,
running around, hunting down monsters
every end brought a new beginning
kevin, save the world tomorrow
and then you can go home.
You can save the world tomorrow
(I can't save the world tomorrow. And I might not get home)
And then we can go home
You're a kid, don't forget it
Don't follow the things I've done
Where we fought with every demon
you can save the wo-orld later,
and then we can go home
I do understand what you're saying
but it means nothing to me
you're not the only one to lose a girlfriend.
I won't save the world tomorrow
I might not have a home.
You should know the weight I carry
Plus I have more to lose,
I have my mom, I have my family.
I can't save the world tomorrow,
I can survive alone.
You can save the world tomorrow
(I can't save the world, time is running out)
(I can't save the world, need more caffeine pills)
(I can't save the world and I might not get home)
And then we can go home
It's not SAT preparation
It's the bottom of the ninth
I'll sleep, I'll eat tomorrow.
and I'll worry about me later
'cause I want to go home.
I want to go home.
You can save the world tomorrow
(I can't save the world, time is running out)
(I can't save the world, need more caffeine pills)
(I can't save the world and I might not get home)
And then we can go home

One Last Story

Hello mother I've got something to show you
Hello mother I've got something to read to you.
I'm not the girl that you knew before
I'm a grown-up now who you would adore
(Chorus)
I still love you. Nothing can change that.
Oh, I love you. And that is a true fact.
I love you. But it's time to let go.
Time passed since I was a little girl
And now it's time to give the world a whirl.
I know you'd come with me if you could
but you're here in spirit. And it all is good.
(Chorus)
Sometime in the future we will talk again
And reminisce of all the good time way back when
But now it's time for me to choose or wait eternally.
I set myself free.
I gotta live, mom, before I die
So I sit and sing and read The Hobbit and cry.
I close my eyes and I take my leap,
You close your eyes and lay you down to sleep.
(Chorus)
