Driving me
When you're young
Riding as a passenger of someone else's life
Your head's in the clouds and you're watching the landscape go by
--What's driving your life? What's driving, what's driving you?
By the time it's your very own foot on the gas
'Keep your eyes on the road' is all they ever say
No more star gazing for you
And if you dream oh you better not dream 'cuz you know what that'll do...
Oh you'll crash, don't pass go
You're gonna crash, stuck on the side of a long, cold, lonely road
Mmm crash, don't pass go
Crash.
--What's driving my life? What's driving, what's driving me?
I wanna go back to the back seat times
Where the traffic's just a game
And the only rush you're in
Is getting to the next birthday candle in the road
-Tellin' you how fast you're allowed to go.
Now it seems those candles are piling up
Faster than I'm allowed to drive
Only 365
Only 365
A goal some people shoot for
Is to step outside, and close the door
Share the ride with a lover to pass the time
Now you can switch off from driving
Stick your head up in the sky watch the trees speed by
And they all look like one.
And the hand you hold in yours is one.
And your hands mold into one.
Oh baby, you know without me you know you'd
Crash, never pass go
You'd crash, get stuck on the side of a long, cold, lonely road
Mmm crash, never passing go
Crash.
The trees they look like one.
And the hand I hold in mine is one.
And our hands mold into one.
Oh what's driving our lives?
What's driving you, what's driving me, what's driving us?
