Speedway Lyrics

I get so nervous, I'm shaking
Gets so I got no pride at all
It gets so bad but I just keep coming back for more
I guess I just get off on that stuff

I'm thinking about taking some time
Thinking about leaving soon

I got some things I can't tell anyone
I got some things I just can't say
They're the kind of things no one knows about
I just need somebody to talk to me

I'm thinking about leaving tomorrow
I'm thinking about being on my own
I think I've been wasting my time
I'm thinking about getting out

In all this time
The bottom line's you don’t know how much I feel
You say you see but I don’t agree
You don’t know how I feel

I'm just trying to get myself some gravity
You’re just trying to get me to stay
Sometimes I sit here looking down upon Los Angeles
Sometimes I’m floating away
I'm thinking about breaking myself
I'm thinking about getting back home
I think I been waiting for way too long
I'm thinking about getting out
I'm thinking about getting out
I'm thinking about getting out

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
