My parents are threatening to kill me again
And you know that school's been hell
Well there's a lake a few states north
Where, Donna, I know you'd swim so well
I'll pack up the car with some groceries
And a couple bottles to soothe my throat
And I'll stare over at you sitting shotgun
But, shit, I'll try to remember the road
And we can dance to whatever
Stop wherever
Whatever's your worry is mine
But if I fall asleep at the wheel
Donna, will you carry me over the line?
The cabin's all dusty and broken
But it's the first place we have of our own
The beach for now is our playground
And the bedroom's our throne
I'm having trouble seeing you
As the night turns blurry to black
And I can barely move when you ask me
When I'm coming back
But I'm here for right now
Forever right now
You know your light I'll always find
But if I fall asleep at the wheel
Donna, will you carry me over the line?
And I promised to hold you forever
But we're home in a couple of days
Did you say that you don't want to see me?
I seemed to miss it in some kind of haze
I could've sworn you said you loved me
By the lake where the sun fell behind
But the memory feels like a hailstorm
And I think I'm losing my mind
Well could you tell me what you said?
Tell me what you said
Please, before I lose my mind
And if I fall asleep at the wheel
Donna, will you carry me over the line?
