Lyrics

The Wheel may be the best song Room 212 has ever recorded. The lyrics are amazing the whole way through, and the music fits exactly with the mood of the song. If you listen close the album title for "Vacancies" came from the 3rd verse.

The Wheel

From the top I'm looking down
the world is spinning all around
so take away my sympathy
and tell me what is left of me
and in the end all I have is you

putting on the Sunday dress so we can look the best
and dance across the parking lot and hope for all we've got
that from the top he's looking down but from the inside out
and looking back we never see the way it was to be
and in the end the words once said were true

Chorus

So tell me this is real I'm asleep behind the wheel
Can't escape the thought a long long way to go
and tell me I'm enough for never waking up
from the dream we bought a long long time ago.

From the top we're starting out listen for the sound
and play until the endless sea has given way to me
and never stop for vacancies will swallow our beliefs
and we can drown it all away with words we never say
and in the end we can pretend we knew

Chorus

This is all we've ever known
getting by but so alone
buying into what is real
turning inside out of the wheel

Chorus
