“Drive-Through”

Verse 1

Come on down, my mind’s a drive-through

Anything you tell me goes right through

I learned all these lines by heart

Took me some time, then I lost the parts

I repeat what I’m given, word for word

Smile at the window, haven’t you heard?

I say it back like it’s something new

But I forget it the moment I hand it to you

Pre-Chorus

You don’t even have to stay

You don’t even have to know my name

⸻

Chorus

My mind is a drive-through

You can order up my heart

You can order up my love too

But it never comes the same from the start

My mind is a drive-through

Open late, always on cue

I give it all, I hand it to you

My mind is a drive-through

⸻

Verse 2

I got a menu, one to three-two-four

Every number leads back to more

You say, “Number one, that’s what I need”

I serve it fast, yeah, I let you eat

You pull up close, you roll back the glass

I answer quick, I don’t ask back

I explain myself like it’s part of the deal

But I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel

Pre-Chorus

You drive away, I stay lit

Another order, another script

⸻

Chorus

My mind is a drive-through

You can order up my heart

You can order up my love too

But it never comes the same from the start

My mind is a drive-through

No tables, nowhere to sit

I give it all in a paper bag

And pretend that’s it

⸻

Bridge (spoken or half-sung)

So when you pull up, don’t park

Don’t ask me who I am

Don’t ask me how I feel

I’m just here to hand you something

And watch you disappear

I respond, I explain

I respond, I explain

I respond, I explain

Until I don’t know what’s mine

⸻

Final Chorus

My mind is a drive-through

Lights buzzing in my head

You can order up my heart

But I’m running out instead

My mind is a drive-through

I don’t know what else to do

I keep the window open wide

And let myself go through

Outro

My mind is a drive-through

My mind is a drive-through

How to perform it

• Tempo: mid-slow, steady, almost numb

• Delivery: calm voice, slightly detached (that’s the power)

• Chorus: melodic but simple—almost chant-like

• Bridge: drop the instruments, let it feel uncomfortable

If you want, I can:

• Adjust it to your exact vocal range

• Rewrite it to be more aggressive / sad / ironic

• Help you with chord progressions or a melody contour

Just tell me the vibe you hear in your head. 🎶
