At least you know
You were taken by a pro
I know just how you feel
She talked a perfect game
Deflecting all the blame
You took the jack
And changed the flat
And got behind the wheel--
Now you`re
Driving sideways
Taken in by the scenery
As you`re propelled along
And your companion
Will not help you to navigate
For fear she may be wrong


And you will say
That you`re making headway
And put it in overdrive
But you`re mistaking speed
For getting what you need
And never even noticing
You never do arrive
Cause you`re
Driving sideways
If you roll down the window you`ll see
You`re where you don`t belong
And your companion
Will not help you to navigate
For fear she may be wrong


And you`re powered by
The hopeful lie
That it`s just around the bend
And when this, by default
Comes screeching to a halt
Let`s hope that you
Know what to do
To start it up again


Driving sideways
Hitting scan on the radio
So she can sing along
And she`ll sit
Thinking you`re going to handle it
Until she`s proven wrong
Until she`s proven wrong
Until you prove her wrong

"Driving Sideways"- Aimee Mann
