time to drive
words & music denise marsa
time to drive
to the middle of nowhere
put the top down look at my options
oh it feels like I'm born again
no didn't see it coming
my friends say I live in a bubble
but the bubble's been busted open
but I'm not dying
I got my heart I got my soul
I've got my very first dream car that I ever bought
I've got my best friend from high school
and she’s never leaving
I've got a voice that's got to be heard
and if we have to hurt to save this world
then I guess it's best to say on this day
my little pain will fade away
time to drive
to the middle of nowhere
put the top down look at my options
oh yes I know I've been down this road before
is it any wonder
that this tide’s not keeping me under
and I know my greatest power’s
the hour that I rise
I got my heart I got my soul
I've got my very first dream car that I ever bought
I've got my best friends from high school
and they're not leaving (never)
I've got a voice that's got to be heard
and if we have to hurt to save this world
then I guess it's best to say on this day
my little pain will fade away
I've stood underneath the rain drops
and watched the sun rise the next day
I've jumped off the bridge when I should have crossed it
oh I've trusted oh how I’ve trusted
But I’ve got my heart…
