[Verse 1]
I could give it all if you'd take me
(I could give it all if you'd take me)
To when I was a kid in the backseat
(I just wanna hold somebody)
Driven down a road in the country
(Far away, far away, far away)
I'd want to grow so I could take a ride in the front seat
(Take a ride in the front seat)
Never knew that time would escape me
(Never knew that time would escape me)
I could give it all just to break free
I want to know if I could find the door and the jail key
(Far away, far away, far away)
Then I could grow outside of the walls that contain mе
[Pre-Chorus]
That's why right now, I gotta go
Driving so fast yet I'm moving so slow
Too late, I'm getting old
Cliffsidе's coming, I'll be driving over the edge
I want to be somebody
(Be somebody, be somebody, be somebody)
I want to hold someone
[Chorus]
When I grow, when I'm free
When the scars that fill my body prove that I'm me
In my withdrawal, when I'm weak at my knees
(Far away, far away, far away)
If wise, I'll know that probably I'll be fine
You hear it all the time
[Verse 2]
Think of what you took for granted
Think of what you got that you wanted
'Cause when it goes and you can't replace it
You know it's precious, not to waste it
Be grateful, you gotta be grateful
[Pre-Chorus]
That's why right now, I gotta go
Driving so fast yet I'm moving so slow
Too late, I'm getting old
Cliffside's coming, I'll be driving over the edge
I want to be somebody
(Far away, far away, far away)
I want to hold someone
[Chorus]
When I grow, when I'm free
When the scars that fill my body prove that I'm me
In my withdrawal, when I'm weak at my knees
(Far away, far away, far away)
If wise, I'll know that probably I'll be fine
You hear it all the time
[Bridge]
How life's been moving fast
That it's just passing by
Running reds and beaming bright
Time don't give a damn
If we're broke and fading white
I never knew that life could move so fast
[Outro]
That's why right now, I gotta go
Driving so fast yet I'm moving so slow
Too late, I'm getting old
Cliffside's coming, I'll be driving over the edge
I want to hold someone
I want to be somebody
