Drive Slow
Journey of Embrace: Finding Solace in Love's Endurance
Lyrics
Drive slow
Advice to drive at a slow pace
And call when you get home
Request to call upon reaching home
Cause I know
Acknowledgment that the person will feel lonely
That you're gonna feel alone
Anticipation of the person feeling alone
Hold me
Desire to be held tightly
Until our bones rot and teeth erode
Expressing commitment to staying together until death (symbolized by bones rotting and teeth eroding)
Cause I know
Acknowledgment of expected loneliness
That you're gonna feel alone
Anticipating the person's sense of isolation
Don't cry
Encouragement not to cry, though uncertainty exists
Am I asking? I'll never know
Questioning if the singer's inquiry will ever be answered
But I know
Recognition of the inevitable sense of loneliness
That you're gonna feel alone
Anticipating the person's emotional solitude
So hold me
Desire for intimate physical closeness
Until our bones ache and we grow old
Commitment to staying together through the aging process (bones aching, growing old)
Cause I know
Acknowledgment of the expected feeling of being alone
That you're gonna feel alone
Anxiety over the person's anticipated isolation
Drive slow
Reiteration of advice to drive slowly
And call when you get home
Reiteration of the request to call when arriving home
Cause I know
Acknowledgment of the person's expected loneliness
That you're gonna feel alone
Anticipation of the person feeling alone
Hold me
Desire for prolonged physical closeness
Until our bones rot and teeth erode
Commitment to staying together until physical decay (bones rotting, teeth eroding)
Cause I know
Acknowledgment of expected loneliness
That you're gonna feel alone
Anticipating the person's sense of isolation
