Hey driver, where we're going

I swear my nerves are showing
Stating that the speaker is nervous or anxious.
Set your hopes up way too high
Referring to setting expectations too high.
The living's in the way we die
Suggesting that the essence of life is found in how we face death.
Comes the morning and the headlights fade away
Describing the transition from night to morning and the fading of headlights.
Hundred thousand people...I'm the one they blame
Feeling blamed among a large group of people.
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
Expressing anticipation for someone to speak up after a long wait.
Save the darkness, let it never fade away

In the living daylights.

All right, hold on tighter now

It's down, down to the wire

Set your hopes way too high

The living's in the way we die
Reemphasizing that life is defined by how we face death.
Comes the morning and the headlights fade in rain
Describing a morning with headlights fading in the rain.
Hundred thousand changes...everything's the same
Noting numerous changes while everything seems unchanged.
I've been waiting long for one of us to say
Expressing the long wait for someone to speak up.
Save the darkness, let it never fade away
Reiterating the plea to preserve darkness and prevent it from fading.
