Sleep While I Drive

(album: A Letter To My Younger Self - 2020)

You and I through the week
Not crazy, we just sometimes fight like kids when you kick my ribs
High temper, hot headed
When you don't have lunch, you could pop that lid
Let's steam off, let's scream out
Redeem our years when we had no flips
Let's call out on God
And make something better when we cross that bridge

So when our minds feel like a head rush (Head rush)
And both the highs and lows are just too much
You can sleep while I drive
You can sleep while I drive
And when you're scared they're out to get us
Just roll the window down and close your eyes
You can sleep while I drive
You can sleep while I drive

Kept on fighting on New Year's Eve
Made resolutions not to anger quick 'til we broke that list
We get weaker, get stronger
'Til we're back on track like a broken wrist
'Cause I love you, you love me
But we yell so loud that we almost miss
We need a weekend out this town
Let me pack these bags like we don't exist
Woah woah woah, I'll go where you wanna go
Don't you, don't you know I'll go out and hit the road?
Woah woah woah, I'll go where you wanna go
Don't you, don't you know?

So when our minds feel like a head rush (Head rush)
And both the highs and lows are just too much
You can sleep while I drive
You can sleep while I drive
And when you're scared they're out to get us
Just roll the window down and close your eyes
You can sleep while I drive
You can sleep while I drive

Ah, babe, we can go set fire to the streets
But, honey, look down, you got cuts on your feet (Mmm)
Okay, but I can take that wheel if you need, I
I'll bear your burden for you
If you need me, I can carry the weight
Sweetheart, with you, I know I'm okay
Oh, 'cause home is with you, no matter the place
I'll bear these burdens for you

So when our minds feel like a head rush (Head rush)
And both the highs and lows are just too much
You can sleep while I drive
You can sleep while I drive (I drive)
And when you're scared they're out to get us (Get us)
Just roll the window down and close your eyes
You can sleep while I drive
You can sleep while I drive (I drive)
