Automatic Driver Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In time, oh, will I
Understand it?
We can fight 'til it's light
Doesn't mend it
Do you still dream we're alright
And we'll find it?
What if I tell you lies
And demand it?
Demand it
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, how many times
You're not listening right in my mind
I know it's alright
But then you find you're lost in the fight
And now you've broken the love of your life
Or you're just blinded
[Chorus]
I wanted to manage information
Find the automatic driver
Oh, I'll find it
Woah, but I'm still so in love
Imagine how much I'm crying
Oh, I'm crying
Oh, woah
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
[Verse 2]
Too many times we've been high
Then we've landed
Oh, that smile that you hide
Leaves me stranded
Oh, sometimes I feel like
We're just pretending
And this time I realize
It's an ending, an ending
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, how many times
You're not listening right in my mind
I know it's alright
But then you find you're lost in the fight
And now you've broken the love of your life
Or you're just blinded
[Chorus]
I wanted to manage information
Find the automatic driver
Oh, I'll find it
Woah, but I'm still so in love
Imagine how much I'm crying
Oh, I'm crying
Oh, woah
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
Do-do-doo, do-do-do
[Verse 3]
You can try all you like
But it's ended
And this time we're in paradise
You're my favorite
[Refrain]
I wanted to make a contribution, baby
I wanted to start a revolution with you
I wanted to make a contribution, baby
I wanted to start a revolution with you, oh, oh, oh
After I waited so long to find you
Why did I let myself run and hide you?
After I waited so long to find you
Why did I let myself run?
[Outro]
I wanted to make a contribution, baby
I wanted to start a revolution with you
I wanted to make a contribution, baby
I wanted to start a revolution with you, oh, oh, oh
After I waited so long to find you
Why did I let myself run and hide you?
After I waited so long to find you
Why did I let myself run and hide you?
After I waited so long to find you
Why did I let myself run and hide you?
After I waited so long to find you
Why did I let myself run and hide you?
