“The Driver” is a track from Bastille’s VS. mix-tape.
The song was specifically written for BBC Radio One’s re-score of the movie Drive, and is named after the movie’s main character.
In the movie the song plays during the scene where the Driver takes his revenge on Nino.
[Verse 1]
Shout-out from the bottom of my lungs
A plague on both your houses
This thing, it's a family affair
It's drawing out my weakness
[Chorus]
Big boys don't cry
They don't ask why
There was a time when a moment like this
Wouldn't ever cross my mind
The sun will rise with my name on your lips
‘Cause everything will change tonight
[Verse 2]
I want to be back on the ground
Where my feet touch my shadow
I want to dig my heels in the dirt
Feel it break between all of my toes
Anything to stop floating around
Drag me down back down below
Take breath and push the anger down
Try to remember calmness
[Chorus]
Big boys don't cry
They don't ask why
There was a time when a moment like this
Wouldn't ever cross my mind
The sun will rise with my name on your lips
‘Cause everything will change tonight
[Verse 3]
Hey now, what's the gravity upon your face?
Aren't I the one who's bleeding?
Real men, always thinking with our fists
My turn to be the victim
[Chorus]
Big boys don't cry
They don't ask why
There was a time when a moment like this
Wouldn't ever cross my mind
The sun will rise with my name on your lips
‘Cause everything will change tonight
[Outro]
There was a time when a moment like this
Wouldn't ever cross my mind
The sun will rise with my name on your lips
‘Cause everything will change tonight
