Lyrics If You Can Drive - Joshua James

If You Can Drive

A mild wind
Through the windows
Soft beams darkening the shadows
The smell of cottonwood trees through alpine
The temples breathe and glow into the hillside
I feel a tear in my stomach
I twist the wheel, you’re parked there in the last part
I turn around and shift into the third gear
Looking back, up to the front mirror
If you can drive, I wanna ride back to the beginning
If you can drive, I wanna ride back to the beginning
I follow close, to your tail lights
A little voice has questions on the short drive
I kept my mouth shut
Just focused on the pavement
It all felt natural, pretending that you’re fake-dead
And that ain’t broke, like sirens on the war scene
Sharp fingers clawing at the dead meat
I close my eyes, but couldn’t stop from staring
I didn’t just die, devoured by a nightmare
If you can drive, I wanna ride back to the beginning
If you can drive, I wanna ride back to the beginning
If you can drive, I wanna ride back to the beginning
If you can drive, I wanna ride back to the beginning
Tell me, I don’t want a life to end
Now or never
Here in life forever, to a song
Why you took a place in heaven
Leaving everything around to fade
The silence here without you
The silence without you
The silence without you
