O.A.R. - Shattered (Turn This Car Around)

O.A.R. - Shattered (Turn the Car Around) Lyrics

In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything
But it’s always back to you

Stumble out, in the night
From the pouring rain
Made the block, sat and thought
There’s more I need
It’s always back to you

But I’m good without ya
Yeah, I’m good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can’t define what I’m after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I’m shattered
I always turn the car around

I had no idea that the night
Would take so damn long
Took it out, on the street
While the rain still falls
Push me back to you

But I’m good without ya
Yeah, I’m good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can’t define what I’m after
I always turn the car around
Give me a break let me make my own pattern
All that it takes is some time but I’m shattered
I always turn the car around

Give it up, give it up, baby
Give it up, give it up, now
Now

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can’t define what I’m after
I always turn the car around
All that I feel is the realness I’m faking
Taking my time but it’s time that I’m wasting
Always turn the car around

How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can’t define what I’m after
I always turn the car around

Don’t wanna turn that car around
I gotta turn this thing around

i think we all interpret songs to what we need them to be for each of us, that's whymusic is so amazing... and i think this song is about a person, boy or girl. who can't make up their mind. And they try to figure things out, and they take BREAKS from reality, but how many til they shatter?

and maybe these breaks are from another person, maybe it seems like a good plan...
"All that I feel is the realness I'm faking
Taking my time but it's time that I'm wasting
Always turn the car around"
and that, is that, its wasted time, in the end he regrets driving away, because it's simply wasted time to run from the one you love. [and you have to love them if you always end up back thinking about them, wanting them.]

but in the end he always ends up where he belongs, right? because he turns the car around...
