Lyrics
Can I drive you home the long way?
Asking if they can take a longer route while driving you home.
It took me all this time to find you
Expressing the time it took to discover or connect with you.
Now I’m never going back
Committing to not return to a previous state or situation.
No, I’m never going back
Reiterating the decision not to go back.
When it started off
Reflecting on the initial phase of the relationship.
We were just kids, but it meant so much
Despite being young, the relationship was significant.
When the worst thing was a head rush and goodbye lasted only for a day
Recalling a time when problems were minor and temporary.
Don’t you go back
Encouraging not to return to a previous state or mindset.
Oh, I’ve been dreading you won’t stop and have a heart attack
Worrying about the other person's well-being.
I think you’re breaking but I don’t know how to fix that
Perceiving the other person as breaking emotionally without knowing how to help.
‘Cause goodbye meant til tomorrow
Indicating that farewells were previously temporary.
So can I drive you home the long way
Repeating the desire to take a longer route while driving home.
It took me all this time to find you
Reiterating the time it took to establish the connection.
Now I’m never going back
Committing to not revert to a previous state or situation.
No, I’m never going back
Confirming the decision to not return.
I feel it slip, I feel you leave
Feeling the relationship slipping away and the partner drifting apart.
Everything feels real now you’re 23
Realizing the reality of the situation now that the partner is 23 years old.
And I wished somebody had warned me
Expressing a wish for someone to have warned about the difficulties.
Nobody move I think we’re stuck
Sensing a moment of being stuck or stagnant in the relationship.
Just kids and drowning inside things we’ll over come
Both individuals feeling overwhelmed but believing they will overcome challenges.
So can I drive you home the long way
Reiterating the desire to take a longer route while driving home.
It took me all this time to find you
Reiterating the time it took to establish the connection.
Now I’m never going back
Committing to not revert to a previous state or situation.
No, I’m never going back
Confirming the decision to not return.
Oh, so can I drive?
Asking again if they can drive.
