Driving Home for Christmas
Journey of Longing: Driving Home for Christmas by Luigi Catalano
Lyrics
I'm driving home for Christmas
I am currently on a journey to my home for Christmas.
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I am excited to reunite with familiar faces upon reaching my destination.
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Reiteration of the anticipation and joy of heading home for Christmas.
Well I'm moving down that line
I am progressing along a route or path.
And it's been so long
A considerable amount of time has passed since the last visit.
But I will be there
I will be present and arrive at the intended destination.
I sing this song
I express my feelings through this song during the journey.
To pass the time away
Singing this song helps me pass the time while driving.
Driving in my car
I am currently driving my car.
Driving home for Christmas
I am driving home specifically for Christmas celebrations.
It's gonna take some time
The journey is expected to take some time.
But I'll get there
Despite the duration, I am determined to reach my destination.
Top to toe in tailbacks
Encountering heavy traffic with vehicles closely following one another.
Oh, I got red lights on the run
There are red traffic lights causing brief stops.
But soon there'll be a freeway yeah
Anticipation of reaching a freeway and moving more freely.
Get my feet on holy ground
Eagerly anticipating stepping onto a sacred or special place.
So I sing for you
Expressing the song for someone, even though they can't hear it at the moment.
Though you can't hear me
Continuing to sing for the person during the journey.
When I get through
Anticipating a moment when the person can hear the song.
And feel you near me
Feeling the presence of the person near during the journey.
Driving in my car
Reiteration of driving in the car.
I'm driving home for Christmas
Repeating the theme of driving home specifically for Christmas.
Driving home for Christmas
Emphasizing the purpose of the journey and its association with Christmas.
With a thousand memories
Reflecting on numerous memories associated with Christmas.
I take a look at the driver next to me
Observing the driver in the adjacent vehicle.
He's just the same
Noting the similarity with the other driver.
Just the same
Highlighting the shared experience of being stuck in traffic.
Top to toe in tailbacks
Experiencing tailbacks or traffic congestion.
Oh, I got red lights all around, uh
Red lights indicating traffic stops are still present.
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Reiteration of the journey home for Christmas amidst challenges.
Get my feet on holy ground
Anxious to reach a spiritually significant place.
So I sing for you
Continuing to sing for the distant person.
Though you can't hear me
Despite the physical distance, the emotional connection remains.
When I get through
Anticipating a moment of feeling the person's presence.
Oh and feel you near me
Repeating the emotional connection during the journey.
Driving in my car
Restating the act of driving in the car.
Driving home for Christmas
Reaffirming the purpose of driving home specifically for Christmas.
Driving home for Christmas
Emphasizing the significance of driving home during the Christmas season.
With a thousand memories
Recalling a multitude of memories associated with Christmas.
I take a look at the driver next to me
Observing the similarity with the driver in the nearby vehicle.
He's just the same
Reiterating the commonality with another person driving home for Christmas.
He's driving home, driving home
Affirming that both drivers share the same purpose of heading home for Christmas.
Driving home for Christmas
Repeating the theme of driving home specifically for Christmas.
Driving home for Christmas
Concluding the song with a repetition of the purpose of driving home for Christmas.
