Drive

We turn the radio on

We roll the windows down

There’s a smell in the air like a fire’s burning somewhere outside of town

You said “drive”...

We don’t look into the mirror

When we don’t look at one another

And we brave our way through darkness like two cowardly lovers

And you said “drive”...

You put your pretty dress on

I put my suit on tight

And we dance like a couple in a bad, bad movie

But we can’t make out the lines

And you said “drive”...

We drive back through the ether

And we felt so alone tonight

All the little words were easy

But the thunder broke inside
