Figures in Fiction - Drive Lyrics

How've you been?
I noticed it's been a while since we talked about what's on your mind
Are you doing alright? Tell me, how's life?
We don't talk much these days
Are you okay? Do you need some time away?
It's alright if you just need your space
Just know that I'm here and I'm only one call away
I'll start the car. I'll pick you up and we'll be on our way
Let's just drive
Let's get away from everything that's on our minds
Let's just try to focus on what's right here
Let's just drive to nowhere specific
Put on those old songs that you still like to take your mind away
I noticed you've been more reserved lately, like you want to keep your words under lock and key
The corners of your lips have been frozen in place, saying less with each passing day
Every time you speak now you look away from me
I can tell something's changed, but I can't help unless you explain
You told me all you wanted was to get away, that all you thought you needed was a change of pace
Let's just drive
Let's get away from everything that's on our minds
Let's just try to focus on what's right here
Let's just drive to nowhere specific
Put on those old songs that you still like to take your mind away
He said others have it worse, so don't complain
She said it's up to you to choose happiness, refusing to accept that there's more to it
You talked about saving to get your own place, maybe moving out of the state if that's what it takes
Let's just drive
Let's keep our minds off the outside
Talk about our dreams and goals in life
We can turn the music off, if you'd like
Soon one day we'll both get away
Let's keep our minds on our future lives
Where we can leave all this behind
