Just Gonna Drive

Mmm
Yeah, the engine's running
Let's go

Fluorescent lights are humming from above
This paper kingdom that I'm tired of
The phone keeps ringing with another need
Planting another bitter little seed
My shoulders ache from sitting in this chair
There's a world out there, but I'm not going there

But through the window, there's a slice of sky
And a tiny, reckless voice inside asks, "Why?"
Why do we build the cages that we're in
It's a game you play that you can never win

So I'm just gonna drive until the road runs out
And listen to the wind instead of my own doubt
I'm gonna trade this deadline for a coastline view
And find a shade of midnight that feels bold and new
Yeah, I'm just gonna roll the windows all the way down
And be the king of some forgotten, one-horse town tonight

The engine's humming a rebellious tune
Lit by the sliver of a paper moon
I'm watching all the streetlights rushing past
A blurry watercolor, moving fast
My tie is on the passenger-side seat
And for the first time, I can feel my own heartbeat

And I'm just gonna drive until the road runs out
And listen to the wind instead of my own doubt
I'm gonna trade this deadline for a coastline view
And find a shade of midnight that feels bold and new
Yeah, I'm just gonna roll the windows all the way down
And be the king of some forgotten, one-horse town tonight

Maybe it's just for a couple hours
To feel the dew on some forgotten flowers
Maybe tomorrow, I'll be back in line
Pretending everything is fine, just fine
But tonight, I'm breathing different air
And I'm tangled in the freedom of "I don't care"

I'm just gonna drive until the road runs out
And listen to the wind instead of my own doubt
I'm gonna trade this deadline for a coastline view
And find a shade of midnight that feels bold and new
Yeah, I'm just gonna roll the windows all the way down
And be the king of some forgotten, one-horse town tonight

Yeah, king of some forgotten town
Just for tonight
Roll the windows down
Yeah
