Drive

I grew up in the backseat

Looking out the window

I counted all the hours go

And wondered why we’re going slow

Little did I know

A thing about growing old

Cause all that I could really see

Was my mama in front of me

And as the scenes passed us by

I think she knew it all that time

It’s a fast ride, a fast life

And all she could do was drive

I didn’t have a care

Thought I had lifetimes to spare

I memorized the stars and trees

The sky and the daisies

But little did I know

Until I was finally grown

How fleeting this all really feels

When I’m sitting at the wheel

And as the scenes pass me by

How I hate this borrowed time

It’s a fast ride, a fast life

And all I can do is

I drove into the city

Where I learned to never sleep

And my dreams, they kept me company

And I fell in love so deep

And I gave you my heart to keep

I asked you to ride beside me

Maybe someday I will see

Just like my mama before me

Wide eyes in the rear view

I’d see myself in you

And as the scenes pass us by

How we’d try to slow down time

It’s a fast ride, a fast life

And all we can do is drive

It’s a fast ride, a fast life

And all we can do is drive
