Drive (feat. Summer Ostler)

You know I'm sorry
I told you I've been working late
And my mornings are for music
I don't expect you to relate
I'm just so up tight
As of late
Don't think I can stay tonight
I haven't been
Quite alive
Maybe we can just drive

Maybe we can drive far away
This anxiety is quietly
Driving me insane
Mind in chronic pain
Maybe this escape could be the novacaine
And I know that our goals are asymptotic
Yours and mine never align
Some nights I swear that I'm neurotic
Please, please just give me a break
Pray the drive resuscitates my mental state
Along with the flame that's dying
How bad do you want it saved?

Baby just let me drive, I
Got a lot on my mind, I'll
Be back, I'll be just fine
Baby, baby
Just let me drive
Baby just let me drive
Baby just let me drive
Baby just let me drive
Baby just let me drive

You know I understand
Where you stand but I'm gone
Taking off in the night
Looking for a new dawn
I'll be back tomorrow
But I can't promise any more than that
Because what I find while I drive
Might be the very thing I never really left

Maybe I can drive far away
Anything to save this shred of sanity that still remains
But I feel it whittle down with the days
The symphony the spokes evoke
Emotion I thought I had stowed away
One wrong turn and I end up
At an all too familiar place
Where am I?
What am I doing?
I need to turn around I'm panicking
But there ain't no stopping me now
I'm caving in
Baby just let me drive, I
Got a lot on my mind, I'll
Be back, I'll be just fine
Baby, baby
Just let me drive
Baby just let me drive
Baby just let me drive
Baby just let me drive
Baby just let me drive

You know that I ain't perfect
You knew that since we met
Where I went on my drive
Was a place I never left
And she was warm and gorgeous
And when her face graced the moonshine
We fell back in love for a night
When I awoke I knew things couldn't be right
So I went for a drive

I told you that I was sorry
For every mistake I ever made
And I was sincere when I called you beautiful
With the love we made
And everything built
It was incredible
And you were phenomenal
But we both know I'm a lost soul
You can't save
That's a title I'll take to my grave
The one thing I found out though
It's that I don't know a thing about this life
But you took the pain away when I came home
On those late nights
And I will forever love you for that
But our forever ended ten minutes ago
I leave this note
Timestamp ten minutes before
Your alarm goes off in the morning
6:50 I'm sorry
I never meant for us to end this way
There are some things I can't explain
But I love you more than I know how to say
Think of this as freedom
My last drive expressing my undying love
In this way
With this metal I scripted an ending
Instead of saying sorry every day
You deserve better than my best
I pray you find everything
That I could never give

Baby just let me drive, I
Got a lot on my mind, I'll
Be back, I'll be just fine
Baby, baby
Just let me drive
Baby just let me drive
Baby just let me drive
Baby just let me drive
Baby just let me drive
