Lyrics

DRIVE

[Verse 1]

Do you wanna go for a drive?

I've got the car parked outside now

You can play DJ

The TV said the world's on fire

If it really is the end of times, well

We can watch it from the freeway

[Pre-Chorus]

The whole world is crashin' down

Drive 'til the road runs out

Drive 'til the road runs out

[Chorus]

You wanna go for a drive? We can put it in gear

Leave the city tonight, get the fuck outta here

You can put the whole world in the passenger mirror

Blow a kiss to concern, watch it all disappear

You wanna go for a drive?

[Verse 2]

Have you ever seen thе Midwest sky?

Or Jackson in the dead of night, no

Lakе Michigan on repeat

And when's the last time that you felt more than alright?

Doin' nothin' except watch the world roll by

From the comfort of the front seat

[Pre-Chorus]

The whole world is crashin' down

Drive 'til the road runs out

Drive 'til the road runs out

[Chorus]

You wanna go for a drive? We can put it in gear

Leave the city tonight, get the fuck outta here

You can put the whole world in the passenger mirror

Blow a kiss to concern, watch it all disappear

You wanna go for a drive?

(Watch it all disappear)

You wanna go for a drive?

[Bridge]

Keep straight to new days now, we

Escape the doomsday clocks, we

Outrun the risin' sun

Let worry come undone

The whole world is crashin' down now

Drive 'til the road runs out now

Outrun the settin' sun

Let worry come undone

[Outro]

You wanna go for a drive?

(Get the fuck outta here)

You wanna go for a drive?

(Watch it all disappear)

You wanna go for a drive?

Keep straight to new days now, we

Escape the doomsday clocks, we

Outrun the risin' sun

Let worry come undone

You wanna go for a drive?

The whole world is crashin' down now

Drive 'til the road runs out now

Outrun the settin' sun

Let worry come undone
