............................................................................................................
I can't stop the way I feel
Things you do don't seem real
Tell me what you've got in mind
'Cause we're running out of time
Won't you ever set me free?
This waiting 'round's killing me
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
I can't get any rest
People say I'm obsessed
Everything you say is lies
But to me there's no surprise
What I had for you was true
Things go wrong, they always do
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
I won't make it on my own
No one likes to be alone
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
The lyrics to "Drive" by TELE/VISIONS speak to the theme of love and infatuation that can be all-consuming. The singer is helplessly in love with someone who seems to be driving him to the brink of obsession. The opening lines indicate that the singer is aware of how intense his feelings are, noting that he can't stop the way he feels and that the things this person does don't seem real. The singer then pleads with this special someone to reveal what she has in mind, noting that time is running out. The lyric "This waiting 'round's killing me" suggests a sense of urgency and desperation, with the singer needing to know if this person is interested in him.
The chorus of "Drive" is an ode to how much this person drives the singer crazy. He can't help but be fixated on her, with everything she says or does feeling like a lie. Despite the fact that things seem to keep going awry, the singer is convinced that what he feels is true. He can't sleep, and everyone around him thinks he's obsessed with this person. Still, he can't help but be drawn to her.
The final lyric "I won't make it on my own, no one likes to be alone" speaks to the singer's deep-seated fear of being without this person. The chorus repeats, with the singer acknowledging that this person drives him crazy more than anyone else and that he can't help himself. The lyrics to "Drive" paint a picture of a person who is consumed by his feelings for someone else, unable to escape the pull of love's magnetic force.
