drive
Lauren Hart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sun comes up, good enough to be the start of something
Was a time, think that I might have missed the day for nothing
What would it take to make the great escape
My beat up dirty car, ready to go far
Got to be somewhere, better than nowhere
Wish away these might have beens

All go by, let it ride, let it count for something
All go by, let it ride, let it count for something
All I wanted will be mine
Be it rain or be it shine
I won't stop until I find it
Out there somewhere, Drive

Drink it down, all the sounds rushing outside my window
Far and wide, sometimes I watch the passengers roll on
Swing from a star no matter where you are
Got to catch up sooner or later
Got to be somewhere, better than nowhere
Wish away these might have beens

All go by, let it ride, let it count for something
All go by, let it ride, let it count for something
All I wanted, All I wanted, All I wanted
I can find
All I wanted will be mine
Be it rain or be it shine




I won't stop until I find it
Out there somewhere, Drive
