You Can Drive
Living fast with only my plans
Paving a path trying to being a man
It hit me why you felt all alone
I haven't always been there for you
When you needed me I was on the move
You let me steer my way
To fill my need for control, Now I know
CHORUS
Been driving, this road too long
I'm turning my wheels & putting breaks on
Amazing how you stood by me all the while
I realize I held you last
I'm seeing the signs I clearly passed
Don't give up on me, you opened my eyes
This time I'll hand you the keys to our lives
And you can drive
My old highways stuck me in a rut
In cruise control wasn't changin' much
Till your grace saved a wreck like me
We crossed the bridge through rough terrain
I never found myself to blame
I was lost and running blind
To what was right in front of me. Now I see
CHORUS
I'm slowing down to the moment with you
I'm learning how to let go to find out who I am
Driving, this road too long
Turning my wheels & putting breaks on
Amazing how you stood by me every mile
I realize I held you last
I'm seeing the signs all the years we passed
Don't give up on me, you opened my eyes
This time I'll hand you the keys to our lives
This time I'll sit back and enjoy the ride
And you can drive
You can drive
