[Verse 1]
She finds some shake and resin
And she puts it in a bowl
And she plugs in her heated blanket
And wonders why he acts so cold
And now she's lonely and it's late
And plus, her mom lives out of state
And now she starts to cry again
She doesn't know if she can take another
Cold night sitting, crying on the bathroom floor
Wondering why she wants to do this anymore
They do a lot of traveling, her bags are already packed
So she hops inside her fancy car, he bought a while back
[Chorus]
And she just drives
No clue whеre she is going
She's just tirеd of not knowing
So she drives
She's going over lines
That she's gonna tell him when it's time
'Til then, she drives, drives, drives
Until that moment comes, she just drives
[Verse 2]
Resentment has her retractin'
And every day she's reenactin'
The past and trauma that he caused
Lying in the bed made out of gauze
She tried to use to heal the wounds
But they just went and bled on through
He told her that he needs some space
But she just loves him to the moon
And now she's waiting in his driveway looking at the door
Hoping he comes out and tells her she ain't gonna hurt no more
But he can't give her love until he learns to love him first
She knows that he's in therapy, she's hoping that it works
[Chorus]
'Til then, she just drives
No clue where she is going
She's just tired of not knowing
So she drives
She's going over lines
That she's gonna tell him when it's time
'Til then, she drives, drives, drives
Until that moment comes, she just drives, drives, drives
Until that moment comes, she just drives
Until that moment comes, she just drives

“Drives” is a song that started off as a poem in an attempt to empathize with my girl after a fight we had. I knew I wanted it to be acoustic. I had just come off of doing shows with Ed Sheeran so I was in that kind of bag and headspace musically.
