The Drive

The Honour Recital

Who would of thought

That a drive home

Would break me

Of bad habits

Now replaced

By these fears



I'm so sorry

Still, I thank you

That you take me

Despite habits

Now replaced

By new fears

To let you know that I'm still scared



Maybe tomorrow

I can take the long way home



Shake it off

Don't let 'em know that you're scared boy, oh no

Eight more months are flashing red and blue, red and blue

Watch your step as I walk to my seat

Counting down the days until they reach May 16

And it all comes back, it all comes back to me



When it's

More than cold out

And this bus stop

Is so lonely

The bad habits

Now replaced

By the same fears

That still haunt me

Maybe tomorrow

I can take the long way home



Shake it off

Don't let 'em know that you're scared boy, oh no

Eight more months are flashing red and blue, red and blue

Watch your step as I walk to my seat

Counting down the days until they reach May 16

And it all comes back, it all comes back to me



The rain shows signs of slowing yeah yeah

Walking over rail road tracks

Just a couple more miles

An empty cigarette pack oh yeah

Oh yeah



Shake it off

Don't let 'em know that you're scared boy, oh no

Eight more months are flashing red and blue, red and blue

Watch your step as I walk to my seat

Counting down the days until they reach May 16

And it all comes back, it all comes back to me
