Seems somebody put out the moon Now the road is a minefield I can't follow the way she moves I can't see past the shadows You make the darkness disappear I feel found when you stay near I know where I am when you are here My way becomes so clear When you're gone Will I lose control? You're the only road I know You show me where to go Who will drive my soul? Seems somebody burned out the signs I can't expect the hard curves There's no borders, there are no lines How can I know where to turn? You make the streetlights reappear I feel bright when you stand near I know what I am when you are here My place becomes so clear When you're gone Will I lose control? You're the only road I know You show me where to go Who will drive my soul? Will I lose control? You're the only road that I know You show me where to go Who will drive my soul? Drive my soul When you're gone Will I lose control? You're the only road I know You show me where to go When you're gone Will I lose control? You're the only road I know You show me where to go Who will drive my soul?
