Lyrics
Yeah
Expressing agreement or affirmation.
This that riding around at two AM type music
Describing the music as suitable for late-night drives.
Let me take you on a night drive
Inviting someone to experience a night drive.
We can cruise around the city
Suggesting cruising around the city together.
I love being alone but I'd rather have you with me
Expressing a preference for company despite enjoying solitude.
On a night drive
Reiterating the theme of a night drive.
Something 'bout the bright metro lights
Highlighting the allure of city lights and skyscrapers.
And skyscraper heights make me feel alive
Conveying a sense of vitality associated with city lights and heights.
On a night drive
Reiterating the positive feelings associated with a night drive.
Just your thoughts and the road
Emphasizing the simplicity of just thoughts and the road.
All the time in the world with no place to go
Highlighting the freedom of having no specific destination.
What you say, baby
Asking the listener's availability.
You got somewhere you need to be
Inquiring if the listener has other commitments.
If not, then come and take a night drive with me, yeah
Encouraging the listener to join for a night drive.
Two o'clock, rolling round the block
Describing the experience of a night drive, observing surroundings and expressing romantic interest.
Bumping therapeutic music out the speakers of my stock
-Hit unlock, let you in the passenger door
-I wonder what this night's got in store for me and you, uh
-Shooting stars, passing by the cars
-Watchin' people leaving bars as we strolling down the boulevard
-Riding slow 'cause we work so hard
-Girl, it's nights like this I love the most, that's the truth, uh
-There's something 'bout the way you're sitting there next to me
-Got my heart racing, think I'm on ecstasy
-I got what you need, girl I got the recipe
-I know you keep your heart on lock, girl I got the key
-And all these other dudes you're talking to, they're just for show
-They comin' round one minute, then the next they go
-But girl, you know I'd hold you down through the highs and lows
Commitment to stand by the listener through ups and downs.
That's why I really wanna know
Expressing a genuine desire to understand the listener.
Can I take you on a night drive
Repetition of the invitation to a night drive with emphasis on city lights and skyscraper heights.
We can cruise around the city
-I love being alone but I'd rather have you with me
-On a night drive
-Something 'bout the bright metro lights
-And skyscraper heights make me feel alive
-On a night drive
-Just your thoughts and the road
-All the time in the world with no place to go
-What you say, baby
-You got somewhere you need to be
Repeating the question about the listener's availability.
If not, then come and take a night drive with me, yeah
Encouraging the listener to join for a night drive once more.
We been riding for a while, I know it's getting late
Narrating a night drive experience, expressing interest in continuing the connection, and the anticipation of future meetings.
But baby girl, I'd love to take you on another date
-I thought the time spent with you tonight was great
-She said, Pick me up tomorrow around eight
-Cause I don't wanna wait, I wanna see you again
-I really think we got the potential to take it past friends
-I don't care about your ends, about your skins, about your flaws
-I just wanna know if you're gonna be the one who gives it all to me
-I said, I know I can be that man
-I'll see you tomorrow night, and we can do this all again
-Dropped her off then I drove around some more
-'Cause night drive memories is what I live for, I thought
-These other dudes that she's talking to, they're just for show
-They comin' round one minute, then the next they go
-I hope she knows I'd hold her down through the highs and lows
-I wanna take her on a night drive
Repetition of the desire to take the person on a night drive, expressing feelings about city lights, and inviting the listener once again.
We can cruise around the city
-I love being alone but I'd rather have her with me
-On a night drive
-Something 'bout the bright metro lights
-And skyscraper heights make me feel alive
-On a night drive
-Just your thoughts and the road
-All the time in the world with no place to go
-What you say, baby
-You got somewhere you need to be
-If not, then come and take a night drive with me, yeah
