Counting Crows – Speedway lyrics
I get so nervous I'm shaking
Get's so I got no pride at all
Gets so bad but I just keep coming back for more
Guess I just get off on that stuff

Thinkin' about taking some time
Thinkin' about leaving soon

I got some things I can't tell anyone
Got some things I just can't say
They're the kind of things no one knows about
I just need somebody to talk to me

I'm thinkin' about leaving tomorrow
I'm thinkin' about being on my own
Think I been wasting my time
I'm thinkin' about getting out
I'm thinkin' about getting out

In all this time, the bottom line's
You don't know how much I feel
You say you see
But I don't agree
Don't know, don't know how I feel

Just trying to get myself some gravity
You're just trying to get me to stay
Sometimes I sit here looking down upon Los Angeles
Sometimes I'm floating away

I'm thinkin' about breaking myself
I'm thinkin' about getting back home
I think I been waiting for way too long
Thinkin' bout getting out
Thinkin' bout getting out
Thinkin' bout getting out
