About Me

Drive Away - Josh Ritter
I don't have any questions that you can not answer
I'm pretty simple that way
Any fears I have left are just ghosts of ghosts
That you drove away
Don't drive away
We were all built to last, guaranteed for life
That's what everyone says
Not under fluorescent lights
With those tubes in your arms
In a hospital bed

Don't drive away
Please stay awake
Stay here
