Well I backstroked through my high school yearsChanging lanes and changing gearsThought I was invincibleThinking I could change the worldCutting classes breaking rulesThe learning started after schoolYou were there weâd slip awayDrive right through the yawning day and…CruiseNever check the review mirrorCruiseWatch the future getting clearerShut your mouth and close your eyesPut the seat back let me drive and cruiseWith a name tag and a bright blue vestThey put the handcuffs on your wristYour careless summerâs been replacedA smile’s a stranger to your faceAnd my fingers punch the cold white keysIâm commas and apostrophesSomeday weâll get out of thisLeave a postcard on the desk and…CruiseNever stop to think about itCruiseNot a single doubt about itFeet donât ever touch the groundSo high weâre not coming down we cruiseAnd my body achesFor the warm embraceOf a better dayOh itâs not too late to slip awayNot too late to slip away now
