Drive is about running from your problems, making moves, not getting complacent, never settling, maybe a lil bit about suicide too. It's a country song.
lyrics
How long can I lay here with that circle closing in?
Beady eyes predict demise while I rot alive
Sun-bleached skeletons try and rope me in and they won't win
I've got a route in mind
If money is time, then I'm spending mine. It's a risk I'll take
(Load it up!)
Head out at sunrise, take it to the coast
We can sleep in turns, lay low on the roads
Dusty back roads (make our own way)
Focus with that red stare, those darkest parts eat fear
We know something they don't know, an echo from below
Sun beating on our skin, not a whip of wind, but they won't win
I've got a route in mind
If I'm losing time, I can't drop a dime and the stakes are high
Ride the cliff side with a canyon grin
Knee can guide the wheel, weaving in and out, what could stop us now?
(Chorus)
Foot off the brake, not strapped in tight
This has been coming for a lil while
Can't settle down, won't settle in
No other choice but to rot or run
Suck up all that new air, no ghosts have settled here
Build another house of cards on a bed of sand
Surf beating on the shore, knocking on my door, but I want more
Eyes on the exit sign
Bargaining with time, it won't buy a rhyme on the other side
Tethered by a whim, under a honeymoon (ooo)
When the stars fade, blow a kiss goodbye and throw it into drive
(Chorus) x2
