Get in the car and drive
In Jonas Brothers' song "Drive," the lyrics narrate a story of two people who are in the car and driving to an unknown destination. The singer admits that he was in the background and that he wants to get closer to the person he is with, but he can't seem to find the exit, and it's time to hit the road. He wishes for the person he is with, but he can't seem to get a clear answer. They seem to have no destination, but the person the singer is with doesn't seem to care as they are in the fast lane, and the moonlight is reflecting in her eyes.
The song primarily talks about how in life, we come across situations that go awry and don't go as per our expectation. However, we must not get bogged down, but instead, we must keep going and keep driving towards our goals. Sometimes, we might not have someone with us or might not have a clear destination, but even then, we must not think twice and keep driving.
