i met you in the fall when dark was closing in   when darkness came to pass 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
