drive
Jordan Knight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothing's wrong, well, well
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall?
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call?

Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams?
And who's gonna plug their ears
When you scream?

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

Who's gonna drive you
Who's gonna drive you
Who's gonna drive you home?

Who's gonna hold you down
When you shake?
Who's gonna come around
When you break?

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

You can't go on, thinkin'
Nothing's wrong, well, well




Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?
