Magnolia movie - Driving Sideways lyrics

Song by Aimee Mann<br /><br>

At least you know<br>

you were taken by a pro<br>

I know just how you feel<br>

She talked a perfect game<br>

deflecting all the blame<br>

you took the jack<br>

and changed the flat<br>

and got behind the wheel--<br>

now you're<br>

Driving sideways<br>

taken in by the scenery<br>

as you're propelled along<br>

And your companion<br>

will not help you to navigate<br>

for fear she may be wrong<br>

<br>

And you will say<br>

that you're making headway<br>

and put it in overdrive<br>

but you're mistaking speed<br>

for getting what you need<br>

and never even noticing <br>

you never do arrive<br>

cause you're<br>

Driving sideways<br>

if you roll down the window you'll see<br>

you're where you don't belong<br>

And your companion<br>

will not help you to navigate<br>

for fear she may be wrong<br>

<br>

And you're powered by<br>

the hopeful lie<br>

that it's just around the bend<br>

and when this, by default<br>

comes screeching to a halt<br>

let's hope that you <br>

know what to do <br>

to start it up again<br>

<br>

Driving sideways<br>

hitting scan on the radio<br>

so she can sing along<br>

and she'll sit<br>

thinking you're going to handle it<br>

until she's proven wrong<br>

until she's proven wrong<br>

until you prove her wrong<br>

<br>
