Drivin' All Night
Drivin' All Night: A Journey of Love, Longing, and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I've been drivin' all night just to get back
I've been driving all night to return.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss that
I would be dishonest if I claimed not to miss that.
It's been such a long time and now I know that
It's been a significant amount of time, and now I understand that.
When you're all on your own, you learn to love back
When you are completely alone, you discover how to love again.
C'MON
An expression encouraging action or excitement.
Picking fights
Engaging in conflicts.
Yelling when you're on the telephone
Shouting during phone conversations.
Sleepless nights just to be alone
Nights without sleep just to be by oneself.
I couldn't wait till I could go
Anticipation to leave and go somewhere.
Now I've been drivin' all night just to get back
Reiteration of the effort to drive all night to return.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss that
Admission that missing the experience is true.
It's been such a long time, and now I know that
Recognition of the extended duration and the resulting realization.
When you're all on your own, you learn to love back
Emphasizing the learning of self-love when isolated.
Chasing life
Pursuing life goals intensely.
Running down a dream till I'm skin and bones
Persistence in chasing a dream until physical exhaustion.
But love can hide until it goes
Acknowledgment that love can be elusive and reveal itself unexpectedly.
Ya I thought that you should know
Expressing the need for the listener to be informed.
That I've been drivin' all night just to get back
Repeated reference to the night-time journey to return.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss that
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of missing the experience.
It's been such a long time, and now I know that
Re-emphasizing the extended duration and resulting understanding.
When you're all on your own, you learn to love back
Reiterating the learning of self-love during solitude.
Take it in while you can
Encouragement to appreciate the present moment.
It won't last forever
Advice to absorb and enjoy the current situation, as it is temporary.
Take it in while you can
Repetition of the advice to appreciate the present, whether it's good or bad.
For worse or for better
Recognition that situations may not be permanent, for better or worse.
Take it in while you can
Repetition of the advice to absorb the current circumstances.
It won't last forever
Reiteration that situations are transient, whether favorable or challenging.
Take it in while you can
Repetition of the advice to seize the moment.
For worse or for better
Reiteration that circumstances may change, for better or worse.
I've been drivin' all night just to get back
Once again highlighting the effort to drive all night for a return.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss that
Reaffirming the honesty about missing the experience.
It's been such a long time, and now I know that
Reiteration of the extended duration and resulting understanding.
When you're all on your own, you learn to love back
Reiterating the learning of self-love during periods of isolation.
