At least you know
 you were taken by a pro
 I know just how you feel
 She talked a perfect game
 deflecting all the blame
 you took the jack
 and changed the flat
 and got behind the wheel--
 now you're
 Driving sideways
 taken in by the scenery
 as you're propelled along
 And your companion
 will not help you to navigate
 for fear she may be wrong


 And you will say
 that you're making headway
 and put it in overdrive
 but you're mistaking speed
 for getting what you need
 and never even noticing
 you never do arrive
 cause you're
 Driving sideways
 if you roll down the window you'll see
 you're where you don't belong
 And your companion
 will not help you to navigate
 for fear she may be wrong


 And you're powered by
 the hopeful lie
 that it's just around the bend
 and when this, by default
 comes screeching to a halt
 let's hope that you
 know what to do
 to start it up again


 Driving sideways
 hitting scan on the radio
 so she can sing along
 and she'll sit
 thinking you're going to handle it
 until she's proven wrong
 until she's proven wrong
 until you prove her wrong
