Drive Away
MêLée Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My friends are drinking satisfaction; I?ve been mixing tonic in spite
Stop now you?ve gotta move on, some how she took you like a pawn
Stop now you?ve gotta move on and win this endless game (win this endless game)
And drive away, hey, I can?t get myself
To drive away, hey, spilling oil down my escape
You were over me in no time
You can close that door
Some say a bonified disaster?s hiding in deceit of my fear
My friends, I know they?ve tried to tell me
But I was too stubborn to hear
Stop now, you?re not gonna save her
Some how, she?ll lead you into danger
Stop now, you?re not gonna save her and win this endless game (wine this endless game)
And drive away, hey, I can?t get myself
To drive away, hey, spilling oil down my escape
You were over me in no time
You can close that door
You can close that door but I can?t drive away
