Music Drives Me

I wake up with a song already in my head

Drumming on the table, making rhythms with my steps

Every little noise can turn into something new

Give me three good chords and I know what I’ll do

I don’t need a reason, I don’t need a plan

Sometimes all it takes is a guitar in my hands

Turn it up louder, let the whole room shake

There’s a thousand little worlds in every sound we make

Some people need silence

I never understood why

Give me a melody

And suddenly I’m alive

Music drives me

Takes me anywhere I wanna go

When the world gets way too quiet

I just turn up the radio

Music finds me

Even when I don’t know what I need

Give me a beat, give me a voice

Give me something I can scream

I don’t know where I’m going

But I know what moves my feet

Music drives me

And that’s enough for me

I’ve got songs for every version I have ever been

Some I’ll never play again, some still pull me in

Every stupid heartbreak, every perfect night

Somehow sounds a little better when I make it rhyme

And maybe I’m just running with headphones on

But every time I lose myself, I end up in a song

No map, no destination, nowhere I have to be

Just four chords and a chorus setting something loose in me

Some people need answers

I’m fine without knowing why

Give me a melody

And suddenly I’m alive

Music drives me

Takes me anywhere I wanna go

When the world gets way too quiet

I just turn up the radio

Music finds me

Even when I don’t know what I need

Give me a beat, give me a voice

Give me something I can scream

I don’t know where I’m going

But I know what moves my feet

Music drives me

And that’s enough for me

Maybe it won’t save the world

Maybe it won’t change a thing

But give me one electric guitar

And watch me disagree

Every room becomes a stage

Every bad day gets a key

I don’t need to know the ending

Just count me in: one, two, three!

Music drives me

Takes me anywhere I wanna go

Windows down, the speakers screaming

Let the whole damn city know

Music finds me

Every version I could ever be

Give me a beat, give me a voice

Give me something I believe

I don’t care where I’m going

If there’s something underneath

Music drives me

Yeah, music drives me

And that’s enough for me

Turn it up

One more time

If I’ve got a song

I’ll be alright
