[Intro] (Drums alone — ghost-note groove, then the riff crashes in) [Verse 1] Brake lights bloom like a warning I ignore Both hands on the wheel, going nowhere anymore Every exit's just a promise with the paint worn off I left on time — so tell me what went wrong [Pre-Chorus] And the GPS keeps saying recalculating Like it knows something I don't [Chorus] I'm idle, idle Engine running but I'm standing still Idle, idle Burning fuel against my will Tell me is the road the problem Or the hands upon the wheel? [Verse 2] Horns like a choir of the damned and late Rearview full of everything I hate Mile marker of the man I said I'd be Getting smaller in the mirror — or is it me? [Breakdown] STOP! (stop!) GO! (go!) RED LIGHT! (red light!) NO! (no!) I'M NOT MOVING! (moving!) LET GO! (let go!) [Bridge] Maybe motion isn't moving Maybe stillness is the truth I've been driving in a circle Trying to get back to you [Final Chorus] I'm idle, idle Engine running but I'm standing still Idle, idle Burning fuel against my will Tell me is the road the problem Or the hands upon the wheel?
