On the Wheel Lyrics by The Mission in Motion

Somewhere Safe

2010

[Verse 1]
Just keep your hands on the wheel
Don't close your eyes
And travel safely till we arrive
Can't you see this is a science wrapped up in a game
A secret kept or a household name
We wait for honest words to fall on honest ears
And we are
[Pre-Chorus 1]
All alone and desperate
All together, but separate
Send a message home
[Chorus 1]
Message home saying we all smile through weary bones
On the wheel tonight
On the wheel tonight
Send one back to me saying you are proud of what you see
Cause I'm swaying on the line
I'm swaying on the line
[Verse 2]
Don't let these empty pockets get to you
We've made our choice
I'm overdrawn, tired, I'm worn
But still standing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
All alone and desperate
All together, but separate
As we lay on the floor...
[Chorus 1]
Message home saying we all smile through weary bones
On the wheel tonight
On the wheel tonight
Send one back to me saying you are proud of what you see
Cause I'm swaying on the line
I'm swaying on the line
[Bridge]
Don't close your eyes
All we know is
All we know is on and on
All we know is
All we know is on and on
[Chorus 2]
Message home (We are almost home)
On the wheel tonight (Almost home)
On the wheel tonight
Send one back to me (Gone, I will lose it)
(If you're gone, I will lose it)
Cause I'm swaying on the line
I'm swaying on the line
All alone and desperate
(Don't close your eyes)
All together, but separate...
