North
Yellow Second Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your face doesn't show
Me whether or not you know.
Stop and back up again
This mess that youÿre in...
Is it over?
I heard all about everything
I felt in the way.
Will you be ok?
So, you're spinning your wheels,
Go dig in your heels,
Don't mind the burning rubber.
No use losing your tread
While losing your head,
Shift to neutral.
Sooner or later you'll be fine
As long as you stop now to question why
Now what to do only you decide
Will you try?
Now that you're here
Is the coast clear?
