Will you ever know
The science of our being?
Will you ever show
The colors that you're feeling?
Will you ever blow
The cold wind back at me?
Just take the wheel on this winding road
And cut the puppet string
Cause I have always known
It wouldn't be you and me
Cause I have always shown
My face when I bleed
And I have always worn
A tired heart on my sleeve
Just take the wheel on the straight and narrow
In the drivers seat
Tales like these have been told
To Joe's like you and me
But it never quite hits home
Cause a couple pages are missing
But when you play the leading role
You know the script for every scene
And the ones who got your back when you're on yours
Are true friends and family
This ripped up treasure map
That you help the missing piece
Would have carried me on your back
The length of the 7 seas
And my troubles they begin to stack
You tell me not to retreat
Just open the door and sit next to me
My copilot in the passenger's seat
Tales like these have been told
To Joe's like you and me
But it never quite hits home
Cause a couple pages are missing
But when you play the leading role
You know the script for every scene
And the ones who got your back when you're on yours
Are true friends and family
Friends and family
By my side in the passenger's seat
