I brush the scent off of my side
and watch the lightening threaten us from way up high
and the lake breathed a clear gust of air
three hundred miles from home
and I don't care


Adjust my eyes and just watch the sky
I'm waiting for some luck to arrive
and pray that God will do His job
and save me from becoming what I'm not


An empty bank account at last
the numbers burned from our exhaust 
in the form of gas
and all the highways buckled like an earthquake passed
I worry that your brakes just might not last


Adjust my eyes and just watch the sky
I'm waiting for some luck to arrive
and pray that God will do His job
and save me from becoming what I'm not


I watched a few weeks of your life
bad string of luck and then you left me
but hope remains beneath you all this time
it wakes you up and keeps you sleeping through the night


So adjust your eyes
and expanse your time
you're waiting for some luck to arrive
but you're scared to tell 
and you're scared of how
I've never seen you lean on someone else


And now you're left with all you've kept inside
adjust your eyes
