Drivetime Lyrics

If we lie lie lie
Lie come on to the other side
Float a floating on the night tide
Just beyond where the sun dies
If we fly fly fly
Fly with me now over oceans wide
Higher than heaven
Higher than the sky
You, me, and God
Can watch the sun rise
Baby come on...
Drivetime
On a drivetime
All the drivetime
Driving by
If we ride ride ride
Where the mist takes us
In a rising tide
Makes us and breaks us
There's no one to guide
Spirits following the blind
If we fly fly fly
Will it take us into high high
A prayer and a wish
Just the why why
We can't see the skyline for the sky
Baby come on...
Drivetime
On a drivetime
All the drivetime
Driving by
Why why why why why why
Early sunrise (?)
Baby come on...
Drivetime
On a drive time
All the drivetime
Driving by
Drivetime
On a drivetime
All the drivetime
Driving by

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
