Lyrics Hell in a Handbasket - Can't Swim

Hell in a Handbasket

Have a party at my funeral where no one has to grieve
Drink and dance the night away where no one dares to leave
Don’t make me turn this car around
I’m driving us into the ground
So I pedal to the metal as the engine kicks and screams
Push it to the limit till it runs right out of steam
I fade way in cruise control
The distance starts to take its toll
On me
So let’s start again
Wake me up, I’m not getting younger
Hurry up, I can’t wait much longer
(How long will I wait)
Someone take me out of my misery
In the middle of the night is where it seems to hurt the most
Morning brings the light again but it’s still getting worse
I drive into the desert sun
Mirage of all the bad I’ve done
In my travels I have left a trail of breadcrumbs, hidden clues
Words within the lyrics that I wish were never true
I fade away in cruise control
The distance finally takes its toll
On me
So let’s start again
Wake me up, I’m not getting younger
Hurry up, I can’t wait much longer
(How long will I wait)
Someone take me out of my misery
Does anyone remember the ones in second place
This failure seeps into my veins
Will I be remembered for songs I didn’t write
I fade away and lose control
Wake me up, I’m not getting younger
Hurry up, I can’t wait much longer
(How long will I wait)
Someone take me out of my misery
(How long will I wait)
Save me from myself, my worst enemy
