Live With

(album: THE SPEED OF NOW Part 1 - 2020)

Well, I'd wreck that better day Chevrolet
A thousand times, a thousand ways
Just to feel the kind of way it made me feel
Behind that wheel

And I'd break my heart come every fall
To taste that summer and the alcohol
On lips that said, "I love you", but never will
I'd kiss her still

With a heart wide open, I'll go down going
I'd rather drown dreaming than to stay dry hoping
I'd rather steal time than have mine stolen
I'd rather live

A life I can learn with, swerve with, twist and turn with
Take a ninety mile an hour curve with
The longer I, longer I live
The more that I, more that I wish

For some friends I can sip with, take a fifth with
Find a girl I can kiss through the thin and the thick with
With the one life I get
I want a life I can live
Not just a life I can live with
Not just a life I can live with

I'd rather be a leaving town silhouette
With taillights burning like cigarettes
Wasting good gas on a bad bet
Than to die knowing I never lived

A life I can learn with, swerve with, twist and turn with
Take a ninety mile an hour curve with
The longer I, longer I live
The more that I, more that I wish

For some friends I can sip with, take a fifth with
Find a girl I can kiss through the thin and the thick with
With the one life I get
I want a life I can live
Not just a life I can live with
Not just a life I can live with

With a heart wide open, I'll go down going
I'd rather drown dreaming than to stay dry hoping
I'd rather steal time than have mine stolen
I'd rather live

A life I can learn with, swerve with, twist and turn with
Take a ninety mile an hour curve with
The longer I, longer I live
The more that I more that I wish

For some friends I can sip with, take a fifth with
Find a girl I can kiss through the thin and the thick with
With the one life I get
I want a life I can live
Not just a life I can live with
Ooh, not just a life I can live with

Not just a life I can live with
