[Drive Away the Bad] [ Verse 1 ] You're sitting in the corner where the shadows stay Watching droplets race across the window pane There's a heavy sense of gloom that's turned to grey A quiet storm of sorrow hidden in the rain [ Pre-Chorus 1 ] I see the way you're holding back the flood inside There is no reason left for you to run and hide [ Chorus 1 ] You don't have to carry every heavy thing alone Let me be the shelter that you've never known When the world is cold and you are feeling small Lean upon my shoulder and I’ll break the fall [ Verse 2 ] I reach across the table with a steady hand I ask the hardest questions that you’ve kept within I want to help you find a place where you can stand And wash away the stains of where the hurt has been [ Pre-Chorus 2 ] The walls you built are starting now to crumble down We’re finding hope together in this hollow town [ Chorus 2 ] There is a healing power in a gentle word Finally your story is a song that’s heard Every lonely moment is a yesterday I will be the light that helps you find the way [Instrumental Break - Melodic Piano Solo and Warm Strings] [ Bridge ] I pull a cotton handkerchief from out my sleeve To dry the salt and silver falling from your face It’s damp with every worry that you’re gonna leave Right here in the stillness of this sacred space [ Verse 3 ] We walk out to the driveway in the cooling night The dashboard has a soft and amber-colored hue The headlights cut a path of pure and honest light I’m steering through the shadows just to be with you [ Pre-Chorus 3 ] The rearview mirror shows the things we left behind Peace of heart is finally what we’re gonna find [ Final Chorus ] Love is just a promise that we won't let go Stronger than the troubles that would try to grow You are not a traveler on a broken street We will walk together till the world is sweet [ Outro ] Driving through the darkness till the dawn is near Looking in the mirror, watching sorrow clear I am right beside you We're going home
