I know it feels like the world is ending lately

And darling, it might

So what do you say we both run away

And leave it for the night?

And it’s nothing like I wanted you

But it’s close enough

We’ll get in my car, go find some stars

And I’ll pretend that it’s love

But it’s not love

I can’t afford to be reckless

Going 90 down 43

You’re too close to me

And I know if I only had one wish

It’s you in my passenger seat

Screaming songs off key

But we’re running out of time

So for now, can we just drive?

Please, just drive

And your words, they hit like a ton bricks

Like they’re gonna leave a bruise

I won’t let it show cause I’ve always known

You were never mine to lose

You say you’ve worked things out with her

But I have my doubts

And there’s lightning on my fingertips

That’s dying, once, to reach out

But I won’t reach out

I can’t afford to be reckless

Going 90 down 43

You’re too close to me

And I know if I only had one wish

It’s you in my passenger seat

Screaming songs off-key

But we’re running out of time

So for now, can we just drive?

Please, just drive

And please, don’t say forever

It’s a promise you can’t make

And I know better

Cause these things, they always break

They’ll only break

So baby, let me be reckless

Going 90 down 43

While you’re still with me

And I know if I only had one wish

It’s you in my passenger seat

And you’d never leave

But we’re running out of time

So for now, can we just drive?

Please, just…

Be real, be honest, even if it lets me down

Once I’m gone, will you wish I’d stuck around?

I hoped for “yes” not that long ago

But I think I’m better off if you say “no”

There’s a fork down an unpaved road here soon

A crash course on letting go of you

The breaks are cut, nothing left to lose

So, take the wheel, you know I could never choose
