Lyrics
17 Mile Drive
Music and Lyrics by Mia Celeste and Jaime Paredes (JP)
Intro Chorus
I cannot break free
I always return to be
17 miles away...
Verse I
Watching the ocean unfold
I vanished in so much blue
I lost my way in a scenic road
So much beauty will blind you
Pre Chorus
How can this be? I can only see
My desire to be free
Out of this 17-Mile Drive
Chorus
I keep driving by
Into its ocean sky
I cannot find my way!
I cannot break free
I always return to be
17-Miles away
Verse II
Passing a white sandy beach
I see heaven in disguise
I lost myself trying to reach
The end of such paradise
Pre Chorus
How can this be? I can only see
My desire to be free
Out of this 17-Mile Drive
Chorus
I keep driving by
Into its ocean sky
I can’t find my way!
I cannot break free
I always return to be
17-Miles away
Bridge
Lone Cypress could not escape
As I cannot evaporate
Into the ocean breeze, oh into the ocean breeze…
Pre Chorus
How can this be? I can only see
My desire to be free
Out of this 17-Mile Drive
Chorus
I keep driving by
Into its ocean sky
I cannot find my way!
I cannot break free
I always return to be
17-Miles away...
