Lyrics
"Drive"
(c) 2003 David Jennings
I can see it clearly
Like you're standing near me
Shallow eyes reveal years of wasted time
Poison the air you're breathing
Swallow the pain by drinking
And dream of a life you'll never lead
So tell me why you're hanging on
Tell me where has all your drive gone
You live your life like you're alone
Your selfish nature has destroyed your home
So tell me why you keep hanging on
Hanging on to me
Idle hands are reaching
Planning, plotting, stealing
Precious memories stained by jealousy
Your mind has lost all feeling
You map out lines in the ceiling
And look for the answers in-between
So tell me why you're hanging on
Tell me where has all your drive gone
You live your life like you're alone
Your selfish nature has destroyed your home
So tell me why you keep hanging on
Hanging on to me
