Drive It Home
Paul Alan Lyrics

If I were a car crash
If I were a catastrophic failure, would you recognize my situation?

Would you look at me then?
Are you only interested in me when things go wrong?

What's so attractive about a tragedy?
Why is it that misfortune holds such a magnetic appeal?

Well there's nothing so tragic as what might have been.
The most terrible circumstances are often those that could have been avoided.

Is it really easier to run than just believe?
Do you find it simpler to flee from a problem than to face it head-on?

So you're lost behind the wheel
You feel directionless and without purpose.

Searching with your eyes for the unseen
You are seeking something intangible or unknown.

Come on and let go
Relinquish control to me.

Let me drive it home
Allow me to steer this situation towards a positive outcome.

You wanted set free
You desired liberation from your problems.

But all you are is alone
But in the end, you are still isolated and without support.

Redemption was the point
My aim is to provide a path towards salvation.

When I rolled away the stone
When I removed the obstacle in your path.

Raindrops big as Texas
Large droplets of rain like those in Texas are falling.

Colliding with the highway
The rain is slamming into the road with force.

Just on the desperate side of Abilene
This moment feels hopeless, as if all hope were lost.

So you pull off to the shoulder
You pause your journey on the roadside.

To let the storm blow over
Waiting for the tempestuous situation to pass.

And there you are alone with your pride
You're by yourself with your stubbornness, refusing to ask for aid.

And a vacant passenger seat
There is an empty space beside you where another person could have been.

And if this is all there is
If this is the entirety of your ordeal,

Then hope is just a liar and a thief
Then belief in a more promising future is futile and deceitful.

Redemption was the point
My objective is to redeem you from your pitfalls.

When I rolled away the stone
When I lifted the barrier before you.

But I think you missed a turn
I believe you've made a mistake or taken a wrong path.

So before you crash and burn
To avoid calamity and catastrophe,

Let me drive it home
Let me take over and guide you to safety.

Midnight on the road to find yourself
It's the middle of the night, and you're on a journey of self-discovery.

And you've been stuck in traffic since you left
You've been experiencing obstacles and difficulties since you began this journey.

Just a one way ride
This is a one-way journey with no turning back.

To another hopeless night
Leading towards another hopeless evening.

But I think I see an exit up ahead
But I believe there's a way out from this ordeal coming soon.
