I like the peace
In the backseat
I don't have to drive
I don't have to speak
I can watch the countryside
And I can fall asleep

My family tree's
Losing all it's leaves
Crashing towards the driver's seat
The lightning bolt made enough heat
To melt the street beneath your feet

Alice died
In the night
I've been learning to drive
My whole life
I've been learning

I like the peace
In the backseat
I don't have to drive
I don't have to speak
I can watch the countryside

Alice died
In the night
I've been learning to drive
My whole life
I've been learning how
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

    What a beautiful song. I think it deals somewhat with breaking through confort zones and complacency, and our fear of doing so.
