Driving Home For Christmas
Emotional Journey: Driving Home for Christmas
Lyrics
I'm driving home for Christmas
Expresses the act of traveling back to one's home for the Christmas holiday.
I can't wait to see those faces
Anticipation and excitement about reuniting with loved ones.
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Reiteration of the determination to return home for Christmas.
Get my feet on holy ground
Desire to reach a familiar, spiritually significant place for the holiday.
And it's been so long
Indicates the passage of a considerable amount of time since the last visit home.
But I will be there
Commitment to being present despite the time elapsed.
I sing this song
Singing a song to make the journey more enjoyable.
To pass the time away
Using music as a means of passing the time while driving.
Driving in my car
Literal description of traveling to the destination by car.
Driving home for Christmas
Reiteration of the main purpose: going home for Christmas.
It's gonna take some time
Acknowledgment that the journey will require a considerable amount of time.
But I'll get there
Confidence in eventually reaching the destination.
Top to toe in tailbacks
Stuck in a traffic jam, emphasizing the delay in the journey.
Oh, I got red lights on the run
Encountering multiple red traffic lights, further causing delays.
But soon there'll be a freeway, yeah
Hope for a clear road ahead (freeway) despite current obstacles.
Get my feet on holy ground
Reiteration of the desire to reach a spiritually significant place.
So I sing for you
Singing for someone, even if they can't hear, expressing a message of connection.
Though you can't hear me
Emphasizes the longing and reaching out to someone emotionally.
When I get trough
Confidence in eventually reuniting and feeling the presence of the person.
And feel you near me
Literal description of traveling by car towards the destination.
Driving in my car
Reiteration of the main purpose: going home for Christmas.
I'm driving home for Christmas
Reiteration of the determination to return home for Christmas.
I´m driving home for Christmas
Reflecting on the memories associated with previous Christmases.
With a thousand memories
I take look at the driver next to me
Observing similarities between oneself and another traveler on the road.
He's just the same
Noting the commonality or shared experience with another person.
Just the same
Oh, top to toe in tailbacks
Stuck in a traffic jam, emphasizing the delay in the journey.
I got red lights all around
Encountering multiple red traffic lights, further causing delays.
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Reiteration of the determination to return home for Christmas despite obstacles.
Get my feet on holy ground
Desire to reach a familiar, spiritually significant place for the holiday.
So I sing for you
Singing for someone, even if they can't hear, expressing a message of connection.
Though you can't hear me
Emphasizes the longing and reaching out to someone emotionally.
When I get trough
Confidence in eventually reuniting and feeling the presence of the person.
Oh and I feel you near me
I´m driving in my car
Literal description of traveling by car towards the destination.
I´m driving home for Christmas
Reiteration of the main purpose: going home for Christmas.
I´m driving home for Christmas
Reiteration of the determination to return home for Christmas.
With a thousand memories
Reflecting on the memories associated with previous Christmases.
I´m driving home
Reiteration of the act of driving home for Christmas.
I´m driving home for Christmas
Final emphasis on the purpose of driving home for Christmas.
