Lyrics
YOU'VE DRIVEN ME CRAZY
(Verse 1)
I'm retracing the steps on the hardwood floor
I've checked the latch on the front house door
Three times, maybe four, just to find some calm
But the static is humming inside my palm.
You left a phrase like a jagged rock--
A ticking sound in the hallway clock
It's 3:00 AM and the walls are thin
And I'm letting the rhythm of your ghost back in.
(Pre-Chorus)
My coffee's cold, the light is gray
I've memorized the things you didn't say
The logic is leaking, the circuits are fried
There's nowhere left for my mind to hide.
(Chorus)
Oh, you've driven me crazy, you've steered the wheel
Right off the edge of the way I feel.
You're a loop in the tape, you're a glitch in the light
You're the siren screaming in the dead of the night.
I'm spinning in circles, I'm chasing the ghost
Of the version of me that I miss the most.
Yeah, you've driven me crazy--
And you didn't even have to try.
(Verse 2)
I'm talking to shadows, I'm drafting a speech
That sits just an inch right out of my reach.
Did you mean it? Or was it just noise?
You're playing a game with broken toys.
My pulse is a drumbeat out of time
Searching for sense in a nursery rhyme
I'm putting the pieces, but the edges are bent
I'm bankrupt on patience, I've overspent.
(Pre-Chorus)
The mirror is lying, the reflection is wrong
I've been whistling the notes of your hollow song.
My compass is spinning, I've lost the north star
I don't even know who we really are.
(Chorus)
Oh, you've driven me crazy, you've steered the wheel
Right off the edge of the way I feel.
You're a loop in the tape, you're a glitch in the light
You're the siren screaming in the dead of the night.
I'm spinning in circles, I'm chasing the ghost
Of the version of me that I miss the most.
Yeah, you've driven me crazy.
(Bridge)
And the worst part is, I'm still waiting for the car to stop.
I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I'm a passenger sitting in the driver's seat
Watching the asphalt turn to heat.
You're the map I burned, you're the road I paved
You're the only memory I never saved.
(Guitar Solo - frantic, distorted)
(Chorus)
Yeah, you've driven me crazy, you've steered the wheel
Right off the edge of the way I feel.
You're a loop in the tape, you're a glitch in the light
You're the siren screaming in the dead of the night.
I'm spinning in circles, I'm chasing the ghost
Of the version of me that I miss the most.
Yeah, you've driven me crazy--
God, you've driven me crazy.
(Outro)
Are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
(Stop the engine)
I think I'm losing it.
