from Song A Week, Volume 5 by James Tristan Redding

about

Co-written with David Easterling.

lyrics

One prayer away from freedom
One step from the edge
So close that I can taste it
But I ain't fallen yet

Vital signs are racing
100 decibels
Starting gun is loaded
Clock is standing still

Feels like I can see forever
But my only shot is here and now
The road is roughest on the wheels that turn too fast
Better hurry up and slow down

Miles have shown no mercy
The memory is a blur
Fading echoes on the asphalt
All the wasted empty words

Feels like I can see forever
But my only shot is here and now
The road is roughest on the wheels that turn too fast
Better hurry up and slow down

Still scared to death of losin'
What I guess I never had
And I'm learnin' to surrender
I don't have to understand
