lyrics
Keep talking loud
Keep driving fast
Keep keeping cool
Keep acting strong
Keep flowing through the world like it’s the perfect backdrop for your song
The morning’s bright, the coffee bold but soon the night will come along
Keep making vows
Keep fighting fights
Keep writing laws
Keep feeling true
Don’t stop to think. Just pump the gas and hit the road. Get in the groove
Soon every thought is just as real as all the things you’ve never proved.
Settle down or settle up you’ll still settle for the things you save
Seeds are waiting for the rain and oceans don’t stop making waves.
And you don’t need nothing
You just carry on
Like a calm thinking there’s no storm coming on
You might be surprised, my friend
There always are storms
They blow into town until all the maps are redrawn
I’ve heard it brewing through centuries of sound
Winds carry the echoes buried deep in our ground
Thought some were fading but those melodies just keep coming ‘round
And that might just do it
That might just ruin us by itself
That might just do it
We won't even need something else
And that might just do it on it's own
That might just ruin us by itself
Keep driving fast. One eye asleep. One hand to tune the radio
You fight to stay awake until you get the things that you are owed
And you can rest as soon as car and road and country all explode
Whether you settle down or settle up you’ll still settle for the things you save
Seeds are waiting to shoot upwards. Oceans don’t stop making waves.
Keep driving fast
Keep keeping cool
Keep acting strong
Keep flowing through the world like it’s the perfect backdrop for your song
The morning’s bright, the coffee bold but soon the night will come along
Keep making vows
Keep fighting fights
Keep writing laws
Keep feeling true
Don’t stop to think. Just pump the gas and hit the road. Get in the groove
Soon every thought is just as real as all the things you’ve never proved.
Settle down or settle up you’ll still settle for the things you save
Seeds are waiting for the rain and oceans don’t stop making waves.
And you don’t need nothing
You just carry on
Like a calm thinking there’s no storm coming on
You might be surprised, my friend
There always are storms
They blow into town until all the maps are redrawn
I’ve heard it brewing through centuries of sound
Winds carry the echoes buried deep in our ground
Thought some were fading but those melodies just keep coming ‘round
And that might just do it
That might just ruin us by itself
That might just do it
We won't even need something else
And that might just do it on it's own
That might just ruin us by itself
Keep driving fast. One eye asleep. One hand to tune the radio
You fight to stay awake until you get the things that you are owed
And you can rest as soon as car and road and country all explode
Whether you settle down or settle up you’ll still settle for the things you save
Seeds are waiting to shoot upwards. Oceans don’t stop making waves.
