One Foot on the Gas
(c) July 2006 Rebecca Dale Peaden (BMI)/Marchetti (BMI)
Lately he's caused you
nothing but heartaches
You're living in the ruins
of a love that once was great
Don't know why it's so hard
for you to move on
Right here in my arms
is where you belong
Chorus:
You've got one foot on the gas
one on the brake
How much longer
will this old heart have to wait
Since the first night we met
you tried to leave him behind
But you're spinning your wheels
stalling for time
You say you're lonely
even when he's home
And you think about me
wish you could phone
Imagine how I feel
Knowing he's there with you
Breathing the same air
Ain't a thing I can do
Chorus:
You've got one foot on the gas
one on the brake
How much longer
will this old heart have to wait
Since the first night we met
you tried to leave him behind
But you're spinning your wheels
stalling for time
I envy the little things
Like sharing a hairbrush,
the morning sunrise,
an accidental touch,
a pot of coffee,
the whistle of a night train,
I'm walking a thin line
Between sane and insane
Chorus:
You've got one foot on the gas
one on the brake
How much longer
will this old heart have to wait
Since the first night we met
you tried to leave him behind
But you're spinning your wheels
stalling for time
Instrumental Break
Bridge:
Should have walked away
When I found out you were taken
Now I'm living in a prison
of my own making
Chorus: 2X
You've got one foot on the gas
and one on the brake
How much longer
will this old heart have to wait
Since the first night we met
you tried to leave him behind
But you're spinning your wheels
stalling for time
Outtro:
One foot on the gas...
one on the brake...
One foot on the gas...
one on the brake...
