Driving

Everything But the Girl · Works [2007]

Oh loverboy To you I belong

But maybe one day you'll wake

and you'll find me gone

But loverboy

If you call me home

I'll come driving

I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn

Oh loverboy I know you too well

and all of my lonely secrets

To you I tell

The highest of highs

The lowest of lows

I'll come driving

I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn

Stretching away as far as my eyes can see

Deserts and darkness, my hand on the wheel

loverboy, please call me home

A girl can get lonely out here on the road

You see Some days I find the old ways

Frighten me too easily

I leave my key and say "I'm too young"

But loverboy

If you call me home

I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn
