I drive a beat-up car, a caravan, the color blue Reminds me of your eyes and all the places we've been to We're tethered to the leather, searching for a better view It's interstellar when it's me and you We're taking off uh uh uh We're taking off uh uh uh This is what I live for Baby, you're my open road You can take me anywhere the wind blows Right into the great unknown We can throw our hands up out the window This is what we live for We look up at the stars, a perfect night to dream with you Got nineties retro on the radio, our favorite tune I put the pedal to the metal just to laugh with you It's interstellar when it's just us two We're taking off uh uh uh We're taking off uh uh uh This is what I live for Baby, you're my open road You can take me anywhere the wind blows Right into the great unknown We can throw our hands up out the window This is what we live for (Oh oh) this is what we live for (Oh oh) this is what we live for This is what we live for This is what we live for This is what we live for This is what we live for This is what we live for This is what we live for We're taking off uh uh uh We're taking off uh uh uh This is what I live for Baby, you're my open road You can take me anywhere the wind blows Right into the great unknown We can throw our hands up out the window This is what we live for (this is what we live for) (Oh oh) this is what we live for (Oh oh) this is what we live for (Oh oh) this is what we live for (Oh oh) this is what we live for
