Drive
Countdown Singers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things you do don't seem real.
Tell me what you've got in mind,
'cause we're running out of time.
Won't you ever set me free?
This waiting 'round's killing me.
She drives me crazy like no one else.
I can't get any rest,
People say I'm obsessed.
Everything you say is lies,
But to me that's no surprise.
What I had for you was true.
Things go wrong, they always do.
She drives me crazy like no one else.
She drive me crazy, and I can't help myself.
Tell me what you've got in mind,
'cause we're running out of time.
Won't you ever set me free?
This waiting 'round's killing me.
She drives me crazy like no one else.
She drive me crazy, and I can't help myself.
I won't make it on my own.
No one likes to be a lone.
She drives me crazy like no one else.
She drive me crazy, and I can't help myself.
She drives me crazy like no one else.
The lyrics of "Drive" by Countdown Singers seem to describe a relationship that is causing a lot of frustration and confusion for the singer. The first verse suggests that the singer is unsure of what their partner wants, and feels like time is running out. The second verse reveals that people have been commenting on the singer's obsessiveness towards their partner, who seems to be dishonest. Despite this, the singer admits to having genuine feelings for their partner. The chorus repeats a line that summarizes the entire song: "She drives me crazy like no one else."
One interpretation of the song is that it describes a relationship that is on the verge of ending due to a lack of communication and honesty. The singer's frustration is ultimately directed towards themselves, as they struggle to break free from this relationship even though they realize it is not healthy. The chorus seems to suggest that the attraction between the two is so strong that it is impossible to resist, even when it is causing pain.
Another interpretation is that the song may be about someone who is struggling with mental illness, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder. The repeated line "She drives me crazy" could be interpreted as the singer's anxiety and frustration at being unable to control their thoughts or behaviors related to their illness. The line "No one likes to be alone" could also suggest that the singer is seeking comfort and stability in a relationship to cope with their mental health struggles.
Overall, the song brings up themes of frustration, obsession, and the struggle to let go of someone who may not be good for you. The catchy chorus and upbeat melody contrast with the darker lyrics, adding another layer of complexity to the song.

I can't stop the way I feel
I have no control over my emotions
Things you do don't seem real.
I doubt the sincerity of your actions
Tell me what you've got in mind,
Please share your thoughts with me
'cause we're running out of time.
Our time together is limited
Won't you ever set me free?
I want to be released from this situation
This waiting 'round's killing me.
The anticipation is unbearable
She drives me crazy like no one else.
Her actions and behavior make me feel insane
She drive me crazy, and I can't help myself.
I am powerless to resist her influence
I can't get any rest,
I am unable to find peace
People say I'm obsessed.
Others believe my infatuation is unhealthy
Everything you say is lies,
I don't believe anything you say
But to me that's no surprise.
I am not shocked by your deceit
What I had for you was true.
My feelings for you were genuine
Things go wrong, they always do.
Unfortunately, things seldom work out as planned
I won't make it on my own.
I cannot survive without her
No one likes to be a lone.
Nobody wants to be alone

Boston Bred Boy here....I was too young to see these guys back in the day, Thank GOODNESS for V66!!! Love this groove and the stage moves! Bass Man keeps it simple, but sold, and the tone is beastly! Ax man has a SWEET tone! Drummie is a Machine! Key Man keeps it kinetic, yet never overplays, and I dig a song that has Space Between The Notes!!!
