Paper Cuts Lyrics - Jason Wade

i woke up today to find 

this tunnel vision left me blind 

with no sense of where to go 

there's paper cutes 

on both my hands 

flipping through these books 

trying to understand 

i don't so i just go with the flow 

there's an open door 

with a clenched fist 

and crooked signs that 

i might have missed some 

somewhere along the way 

as i close my eyes i disappear 

to a place in time far from here 

i run but i can't out run today 

there's lighting in the sky 

i'm on the road 

there's an overwhelming urge 

as she explodes 

all my life been waiting to arrive 

it's not the destination it's the drive 

i woke up with a bloody nose 

and bruises on my feet and toes 

been kicking and screaming at the wall 

strange how you feel most alive 

when you're broken down 

trying to survive 

you cry and curl up into a ball 

somewhere in the solitude 

silence creeps up in front of you 

for once there's nothing left to lose 

as i stare into the empty space 

everything seems to dissipate 

even if i could i wouldn't want to move 

there's lighting in the sky 

i'm on the road 

there's an overwhelming urge 

as she explodes 

all my life been waiting to arrive 

it's not the destination it's the drive 

woke up today with burning ears 

has it been 30 days or 30 years 

i call get you on the phone 

said there's paper cutes 

on both your hands 

flipping through these books 

trying to understand 

this life gets stranger as we go 

there's lighting in the sky 

i'im on the road 

there's an overwhelming urge 

as she explodes 

all my life been waiting to arrive 

it's not the destination it's the drive 

it's the drive
