Drive

I found a picture of us when we were kids
We're out in a field behind where we used to live
I'm chasing you chasing him in a faraway dream
We're running in grass that's so tall, we can barely be seen
Come out with me, let's go back in time, let's drive
All of the years in between just let them fly by
Under the arc of the sky I won't let go
Under the summer trees I loved you so
We're lying side by side all alone in the dark
Afraid of the sounds in the house a telltale heart
So, you're telling stories of places to take me away
And I'm singing songs that we learned as the radio plays
Come out with me, let's go back in time, let's drive
All of the pain that you've had just leave it behind
Under the arc of the sky I won't let go
Under the grandfather trees I loved you so
Oh, let's drive
Oh, let's drive
We were young
We were free
Ruled the world
You and me
We were young
We were free
Ruled the world
You and me
(We were young)
I remember everything (we were free)
Everything you said to me (ruled the world)
And I would never be afraid (you and me)
As long as you were next to me (we were young)
I remember everything (we were free)
All the things you said to me (ruled the world)
I would never be afraid (you and me)
As long as you were next to me
We were young
We were free
Ruled the world
You and me
