Just Drive.

Well it's almost October and summertime's over
In fact, it's been over for years
I drive round my hometown and I see this kind face frown
I roll my window down, he asks: "Why are you here?"
I try to remember that last year's september
I got off-centered from the way that they've paved
So I ask for directions, he said "just go ahead son
You're not an exception to the rules that we've made"

So I roll up my window and I step on the gas
To see destinations I'm not meant to go
But I listen and follow, my passion I've passed
Dead ends and stop signs don't want me to grow

I end up at my old house and it feels safe but i feel doubt
'cause it isn't what I vowed for I wanted to change
Take a walk through the garden, see a castle of carton
Kids playing feel foreign from when I was their age
I never learned confidence and I never learned pride
So when they said "just jump, man" I asked "how high?"
But their height wasn't a leap and their depth wasn't that deep
Now the secrets that I keep are where I wanna go in life

Keep taking the wrong route, to all my lost traces
Keep going places I'm not meant to be
I blend in a crowd, but then clash with their faces
One of them's faceless and that would be me

I'm still waiting on that one day when the sun sets and its last rays
Turn the gray of the highway into orange and pink
One last look in the rear view
Then I'll drive til the day's new and the dark slowly turns blue
You'll get there, don't think

Just drive
