lyrics

Maybe I’m jaded, a little skeptic
Of all these experts, they talk about it
With all their numbers, and all their sidekicks
And all their edges, and all their mind tricks

Yea, it’s a good life, but it’s disguised by
A bunch of wisdom, a bunch of wise guys
Framing their papers, proving their real worth
While missing out on, knowing the real world

I can’t help to deny, I can’t help to doubt
Oh but the more they turn it up, the more I tune it out

Take me on a drive love, let me sit beside you
Take me to the diamond, out behind the high school
I can outrun it love
You and I we can try to outrun it love

All good intentions, become infected
And all these houseplants, become neglected
Growing suspicious, of every smile
I just want love, is that so wild

I try to keep with the style, try to change my mind
The more I roll with it, the more I’m leaving behind

Take me on a drive love, let me sit beside you
Take me to the diamond, out behind the high school
I can outrun it love
You and I we can try to outrun it, love
