Drive
Sordid Pink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you
I stood right there before you
And i knew this was right
When your eyes crossed mine

This is who we are
Driving recklessly fast in your car
No we don't need no breaks
We've gone too far
On the road that seems
Like it's our own highway to future
Our future

Staring at you now i see
I have no way out
Every single time we meet
I loose all my control
Out of my mind
But when it all comes crashing down
Will you stick around with me?

This is who we are
Driving recklessly fast in your car
No we don't need no breaks
'Cause that's just how we are

Every single day
When i close my eyes
I hear you say
We're young and beautiful
No we will never get old
Its you and me
Can you promise me
That we will stay forever young
Forever young

Staring at you now i see
I have no way out
Every single time we meet
I loose all my control
Out of my mind
But when it all comes crashing down
Will you stick around with me

Every single day
When i close my eyes
I hear you say
We're young and beautiful
No we will never get old

Staring at you now i see
I have no way out
Every single time we meet
I loose all my control
Out of my mind




But when it all comes crashing down
Will you stick around with me

I dont know if this is breaking the rules or not but I'm totally listening to this in my parked car. Good stuff, love that after all this time they're still being so genuinely them. Sordid Pink for best pop album of the 21st century!

Finally! This has been popping into my head for the past two years, since I heard a bootleg concert recording. Great to finally have the studio version and even better that it's such a banger!

Hard to even comment about Aleksandra and the band. Everything they do is pure gold. They could slam several bottles of vodka while banging their instruments against a wall as she screams into the mic, and I would beg for more.

Djelmash's voice on this record is astonishing

Thomas Mcgill

Great writing and arrangement! Love this ...

Jesse Daniels

Wow, so glad I found this. I kept wondering how I could hear more of her voice outside of DP, I'm saved.
