10cc - Survivor Lyrics

This boy, he's a midnight driver
High roller and a soul survivor
She tried to send him on his way
He say, hey, I wanna stay
If you don't mind, I'm hanging around

This girl's on the road to nowhere
She wouldn't say but another day there
It's not the role she's decided to play
She say, hey, don't wanna stay
There's no reason for hanging around

Take me where I wanna go running
Where the sea rushes up to the shore
It's a lonely place but I need the space
Want to let my feelings soar

Help me find the key to my prison
I've waited long enough to be free
I love you but I'm not really living
It's not how I want it to be

Listen, I know what she's like
She's just a dreamer
But I'll win in the end
I'm a schemer

Give her time, she'll be on the phone
She's never gonna make it alone
Better leave the door on the latch
She'll soon be hurrying home

Oh Mother
It looks like I'm in for stormy weather
So, I'd better get my story together

Got to make it good, she's no fool
I'll take her in my arms, I'll be cool
Don't want to get her upset
I wanna make her forget

Take me where I wanna go running
Where the sea rushes up to the shore
It's a lonely place but I need the space
Want to let my feelings soar

Help me find the key to my prison
I've waited long enough to be free
I love you but I'm not really living
It's not how I want it to be

This girl, she's a real survivor
She don't believe in the midnight driver
So she's starting a brand new day
She say, hey, don't wanna play
It had to stop, so I'm going away
I'm going away, I'm going away
