Lyrics
I step across that line, a thousand times
I repeatedly cross a significant boundary, contemplating decisions.
Before I make my mind and get it right next time
Before finalizing my choice, I go through the process multiple times.
But the wheels turn round, they won't slow down
Despite efforts to slow down, things keep moving forward.
I got to spin mine out, before they hit the ground
I need to express myself before facing negative consequences.
I coulda turn around keep it down
I could turn away and avoid confrontation.
Get my mouth a runnin' just to rev it up
I tend to speak impulsively, energizing the situation.
Crooked walkin' trash talkin' runnin' with the pack
Engaging in questionable behavior, running with a reckless crowd.
By the time I shut my trap you know I couldn't take it back
After talking recklessly, I regret it and can't undo the words.
It's the way we set the wheels in motion
Describing the process of initiating action or change.
I said that's the way we make the wheels roll
Asserting that this is how progress and change occur.
The way we set the wheels in motion
Reiterating the role of initiating change or action.
You're wavin' your tongue like a remote control
Comparing talking excessively to manipulating others like a remote control.
If you could read my mind, in just a few short lines
Suggesting that deeper understanding reveals warning signs and pressure.
You see the warning sign, you feel the pressure rise
Recognizing the signs and feeling the stress build up.
Because the wheels turn round, and never hit the ground,
Emphasizing the continuous nature of the process until a setback occurs.
Until the motor stalls, and my lost gets found
Until a breakdown happens, leading to rediscovery or realization.
I coulda turn around keep it down
Similar to line 6, the choice to avoid confrontation is revisited.
Get my mouth a runnin' just to rev it up
Repeating the pattern of impulsive speech.
Crooked walkin' trash talkin' runnin' with the pack
Engaging in questionable behavior with a risky group.
By the time I shut my trap you know I couldn't take it back
Expressing regret for spoken words that cannot be taken back.
It's the way we set the wheels m motion
Reiterating the role of initiating change or action.
I said it's the way we make the wheels roll
Stating that this is how progress and change occur.
That's the way we set the wheels in motion
Emphasizing the ongoing process of initiating change.
You're wavin' your tongue like a remote control
Comparing talking excessively to manipulating others like a remote control.
Dream it out, talk it out, rev it out, get it out
Encouraging the expression and resolution of thoughts and issues.
Dream it out, talk it Out, rev it out, get it out
Repeating the call for expression, resolution, and release of emotions.
Raise it out, take it up, and bake it up
Encouraging taking things to a higher level and confronting challenges.
Take it up, take it up, break it up!
Urging the breaking of barriers and overcoming obstacles.
It's the way we set the whee is in motion
Reiterating the role of initiating change or action.
I said it's the way we make the wheels roll
Stating that this is how progress and change occur.
That's die way we set the wheels in motion
Emphasizing the ongoing process of initiating change.
I said it's the way we make, the wheels roll
Stating that this is how progress and change occur.
It's the way we set the wheels in motion
Reiterating the role of initiating change or action.
I said it's the way we make-the wheels roll
Stating that this is how progress and change occur.
That's the way we set the wheels in motion
Emphasizing the ongoing process of initiating change.
I said it's the way we make the wheels...
Concluding with a repetition of the idea that this is how progress and change happen.
