"WHEELS"
I know what you're thinkin' We were goin' down I can feel the sinkin' But then I came around
And everyone I've loved before Flashed before my eyes And nothin' mattered anymore I looked into the sky
Well I wanted something better man I wished for something new And I wanted something beautiful And wish for something true Been lookin' for a reason man Something to lose
When the wheels come down When the wheels touch ground And you feel like it's all over There's another round for you When the wheels come
Know your head is spinning' Broken hearts will mend This is our beginning- Coming to an end
Well, you wanted something better man You wished for something new Well, you wanted something beautiful Wished for something true Been looking for a reason man Something to lose
When the wheels come down When the wheels touch ground And you feel like it's all over There's another round for you When the wheels come down
