Taking The Wheel Lyrics by Laura Quirke, Joshua Burnside

In the Half-Light

0

[Verse 1: Laura Quirke]
Sarah sits in the passenger seat and
Ponders the thought of taking the wheel
Being more than indulged or humoured navigation
The comfort of feeling as though she’s directing
[Chorus: Laura Quirke & Joshua Burnside]
Gesturing left and gesturing right
Turn around down here
Pull in at the side of the road
There’s something you need to know
[Verse 2: Laura Quirke]
The two of them there sitting side by side
David driving and Sarah beside
The splashing rain on the window screen
The straining drain of nature’s spleen
[Chorus: Laura Quirke & Joshua Burnside]
Gesturing left and gesturing right
Turn around down here
Pull in at thе side of the road
Therе’s something you need to know
[Verse 3: Joshua Burnside]
David dares his eyes to glance over
But can already feel the heat rising off her
Condensation closing in
Makes it hard to see the road in front of him
[Chorus: Laura Quirke & Joshua Burnside]
Gesturing left and gesturing right
Turn around down here
Pull in at the side of the road
There’s something you need to know
[Vocalizing: Laura Quirke]
[Verse 4: Joshua Burnside]
Saved by the radio once again
A song comes on to take them out of there skin
And in love now as they listen to words
That others have sung so that they don’t have to
[Bridge: Laura Quirke & Joshua Burnside]
Gesturing left and gesturing right
The hum of the engine, a hum womb-like
Daring feet upon the dashboard speak
A sweet desire for more
Rotting away from the core
[Vocalizing: Laura Quirke]
[Verse 5: Laura Quirke]
David resigns to indicate
And the engine cuts at the edge of a lake
The song is reaching its final refrain
Their only wish is for it to remain
[Chorus: Laura Quirke & Joshua Burnside]
Gesturing left and gesturing right
Turn around down here
Pull in at the side of the road
There’s something you need to know
Gesturing left and gesturing right
Turn around down here
Pull in at the side of the road
There’s something you need to know
[Outro: Laura Quirke]
Gesturing left and gesturing right
Turn around down here
Pull in at the side ---
