The Wheels Fell Off

(album: The Secret Service - 2015)

Do you remember when the wheels fell off the bus
We were heading for a wedding and there was no stopping us
I fell head over heels but that wasn't enough
And now the bolts that bind us have all just turned to rust

I wonder what's under your bandages
We speak the same words in different languages
Just say the word and I'll help you to unfreeze
But it's so hard when you don't know the word for please

Do you remember when the wheels fell off the bus
I was caught dragging my heels when you were in a rush
Driving has a way of proving perilous
What good's a steering wheel when your hands have both been crushed

To catch perfection with a net and rod
White whales haunt your vision and you lose sight of what you've got
You are unshakeable in your self-belief
Just like all madmen who succumb to the deep

Tell me where did you go
Tell me where did our friend go
Tell me where did our friend go

Pangaea to Atlantis
In just under a year
You did all the drifting
So I'm gonna save my tears

Probably all my fault
That you couldn't be more wrong
I've tried too hard for too long
Too hard for too long
