Lyrics

Driving down the 405

Driving on the 405, a highway, symbolizing a journey or path.

Dreaming about you tonight

Daydreaming about someone special.

Wondering if you'd think about

Contemplating whether the person thinks about the speaker.

What I said about going south

Reflecting on a decision or statement about heading south.

When the dust, it finally settles

Waiting for a situation to settle, comparing it to dust settling.

And my flowers drop their petals for you, you

Symbolic imagery of flowers losing petals, possibly representing love fading.

With the bodies lost in dancing

Recalling a night of dancing, bodies lost in the moment.

For a night we took for granted, we knew, knew

Acknowledging a night taken for granted, now known with hindsight.

Justify the distance with a dream about coming home

Seeking to justify the physical distance with dreams of returning home.

When you never really planned on coming back around

Realizing that returning may not have been part of the original plan.

Justify the distance with a dream about coming home

Reiterating the desire to justify distance with dreams of coming home.

When you never really planned on coming back around

Repeating the idea that returning was not initially intended.

Reflections in the windowpane

Observing reflections in a window, possibly indicating introspection.

And I know you see the same

Believing the other person sees similar reflections and contemplates the same.

Looking at one lonely star

Looking at a single star, suggesting shared experiences despite the distance.

And the distance doesn't seem so far

Feeling that the distance doesn't seem significant when considering shared moments.

Turning mountains into foothills

Transforming challenges into smaller obstacles, finding comfort together.

Finding warmth in all the windchill with you, you

Finding warmth in difficult situations, possibly with the mentioned person.

With a yearning for the lifeline

Expressing a deep longing for a connection or a shared life.

That we find where we can spend time, it's true

Desiring a meaningful connection where time can be spent together.

Oh yeah, it's true

Affirming the truth of the desire for a deep, meaningful connection.

Justify the distance with a dream about coming home

Reiterating the attempt to justify distance with dreams of returning home.

When you never really planned on coming back around

Acknowledging that returning might not have been part of the original plan.

Justify the distance with a dream about coming home

Emphasizing the ongoing struggle to reconcile the distance with the desire to return.

When you never really planned on coming back around

Repeating the acknowledgment that returning was not initially intended.

Driving down the 405

Revisiting the imagery of driving on the 405 and daydreaming about the person.

Dreaming about you tonight

Continuing the theme of yearning and thinking about the person at night.

Wondering if you'd think about

Reflecting on whether the person thinks about the speaker.

What I said about going south

Recalling the statement about heading south.

What I said about going south

Repeating the idea of expressing a decision or statement about heading south.

What I said about going south

Repeating the notion of expressing a decision or statement about heading south.

What I said about going south
