Driving
Lover's Journey: Driving Fast Through the Heart's Highs and Lows
Lyrics
Oh loverboy To you I belong
Expressing a connection with the lover, declaring belongingness.
But maybe one day you'll wake
Suggesting the possibility of the lover realizing the speaker's absence in the future.
And you'll find me gone but loverboy
Reiterating the potential departure and emphasizing the lover's role in calling the speaker back.
If you call me home i'll come driving
Committing to returning if the lover calls, using the metaphor of driving as a way to come back.
I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn
Emphasizing the speed and eagerness with which the speaker will return when summoned.
Oh loverboy I know you too well
Acknowledging a deep understanding of the lover, sharing personal secrets.
And all of my lonely secrets to you I tell
Revealing the speaker's emotional highs and lows to the lover.
The highest of highs the lowest of lows
Describing extreme emotional experiences shared with the lover.
I'll come driving
Reiterating the commitment to return swiftly, using the driving metaphor.
I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn
Emphasizing the urgency and speed of the speaker's return.
Fast as wheels can turn
Repeating the idea of swift return, underlining the importance with repetition.
Stretching away as far as my eyes can see
Portraying a vast and distant landscape, possibly symbolizing the challenges the speaker faces.
Deserts and darkness, my hand on the wheel
Describing a journey through difficulties, with the speaker in control ("hand on the wheel").
Loverboy, please call me home
Pleading for the lover to call the speaker home due to loneliness on the road.
A girl can get lonely out here on the road
Highlighting the challenges of solitude during the journey.
You see some days I find the old ways
Reflecting on the fear of traditional paths and the speaker's tendency to be frightened easily.
Frighten me too easily
Expressing vulnerability and fear related to the speaker's choices and experiences.
I leave my key and say "I'm too young"
Leaving behind familiarity ("key") by pretending to be young, avoiding the old ways.
But loverboy if you call me home
Reiterating the commitment to return if called by the lover, maintaining the driving metaphor.
I'll come driving fast as wheels can turn
Reiterating the urgency and speed of the return when summoned by the lover.
