I met you in the fall when dark was closing in When darkness came to pa** the light shown brightly in On we who knew that all along it had to end The summer sees our dusk right as we begin I don't wanna be a wrench in your gears I just wanna be I don't wanna be another spoke in your wheel Do you know what I mean? Now it appears the time we go our separate ways In truth i wish sometimes we'd forego those plans you made It's unacceptable to me that nothing can be done To save two lovers from impending separation I don't wanna be a wrench in your gears I just wanna be I don't wanna be another spoke in your wheel Do you know what I mean? This expiration date Is driving me insaine This expiration Is driving me insaine I don't want you to follow me and lose yourself But with two thousand miles betweeen us We'll need help will such a distance serve to make our love secure, Or will it go the way so many have before? I don't wanna be a wrench in your gears I just wanna be I don't wanna be another spoke in your wheel do you know what I mean? This expiration date Is driving me insaine This expiration Is driving me insaine Insaine Insaine
