I wanna seize the day Like its the greatest thing that ever happen I'm gonna shift my gear And leave it for up tied in the traffic The one that hit the wall like a lumberjack Gonna crank it up like a maniac 'Cause I, I like it and I do it again You can rush a car But only if you bring it on some jingle And if you don't confide 'Cause I'm thinking better cause I'm single I took one steep forward and two steps back It was this close to a heart attack And I, now why do I wanna do it again? I'm into (O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-oh) overdrive Yes super (O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-oh) overdrive Life's a hell of a ride when the rules don't look right I'm into (O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-oh) overdrive I listen to only me, myself and I Think I just let it slide it (O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-oh) overdrive I see the burst light high And they wear suits but they got nothing on me I take the paid chick back ? They will never own me I took one steep forward and two steeps back It was this close to a heart attack And now why do I wanna do it again? I'm into (O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-oh) overdrive Yes super (O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-oh) overdrive Life's a hell of a ride when the rules don't look right I'm into (O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-oh) overdrive I listen to only me, myself and I Think I just let it slide it (O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-oh) overdrive Tripping all over the world Spinning the big ? around Every night and every day Follow the lines of the road I'm farming a map on the way Figure it out I figure it out (O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-oh) overdrive Yes super (O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-oh) overdrive Life's a hell of a ride when the rules don't look right I'm into (O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-oh) overdrive I listen to only me, myself and I Think I just let it slide it Tripping all over the world Spinning the big ? around Every night and every day Follow the lines of the road I'm farming a map on the way Figure it out I figure it out Think I just let it slide it (O-o-o-o-oh o-o-o-o-oh) Overdrive
