Drive
The Sam Willows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drive, now go faster
Don't say I'm safe, tell me we're hazardous
This is our castle
We won't dust away, say you feel amorous

We got a billion issues to settle
We'll fit a million pieces together
We got a billion questions to answer
Just not tonight babe, shout if you love me

Drive, drive, drive your car
Free on the freeway, high on the highway
Fuck knows where we are
Hearts in our headspace, high on the highway

Let's not worry 'bout a thing
Sunroof's out let the rain in
Drive, drive, drive your car
Free on the freeway, high on the highway

Drive, you look shattered
I know she's calling you
But you don't have to answer
Arrived, we're in heaven
Interstate tears, but nobody touches us here

We got a billion issues to settle
We'll fit a million pieces together
We got a billion questions to answer
Just not tonight babe, shout if you love me

Drive, drive, drive your car (drive ah)
Free on the freeway, high on the highway
Fuck knows where we are (who knows where we are)
Hearts in our headspace, high on the highway

Let's not worry 'bout a thing (oh yeah)
Sunroof's out let the rain in (sunroof's out let the rain in)
Drive, drive, drive your car
Free on the freeway, high on the highway

Get your head down, hold my hand now
Glass in the air, glitters your hair




Close your eyes now, almost done now
Don't let me go, baby we'll go
