Drive Away
Navigating Love's Crossroads: Drive Away by Phil Vassar
Lyrics
Things are too simple, things are too hard
Expressing the complexity of life, with both simple and difficult aspects.
Nobody's happy with the way things are
Observing widespread dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
Looking for the quick fix, the short term loan
Describing a tendency to seek quick solutions and temporary fixes.
Got to rent ?cause you might not be here long enough to own
Highlighting the uncertainty of life, leading to a preference for renting over owning.
The way I see it the trouble with the world these days
Pointing out that the world is facing increasing challenges.
It's getting way too easy just to drive away
Suggesting a growing trend of avoiding problems by choosing to leave or escape.
With you and me baby it's up and down
Describing the ups and downs in a relationship.
We're moving the earth or we're on shaky ground
Indicating the unpredictable nature of the relationship, with moments of stability and instability.
We talk about forever when it's all going smooth
Discussing commitment during smooth times in contrast to potential separation during challenges.
Or moving out tomorrow if things don't improve
Highlighting the inclination to consider leaving if the situation doesn't improve.
Well the way I see it the trouble with love these days
Expressing concerns about the state of love, suggesting it has become easy to walk away.
It's gotten way too easy just to drive away
Reiterating the idea that leaving a relationship has become too convenient.
And you can drive away
Introducing the option of driving away as a response to difficulties.
If you've got half a mind to and half a tank you can
Emphasizing the simplicity of leaving with minimal resources.
Drive away
Repeating the notion that driving away is an easy option.
First sign of trouble first little thing goes wrong
Suggesting the impulsiveness of leaving at the first sign of trouble.
You can climb in your car and drive till you're gone
Emphasizing the freedom to escape by driving away when faced with challenges.
Whatever we've got it's worth the risk
Stating that the relationship is worth taking risks for.
To read a little promise into every kiss
Encouraging finding hope and commitment in every romantic gesture.
You pay for the music but you do get to dance
Acknowledging the cost of love but highlighting the joy of experiencing it.
When you love somebody it's not that big a chance
Affirming that love is worth the risk and not a significant gamble.
The way I see it we've got every reason to stay
Asserting that there are compelling reasons to stay in the relationship.
And every reason to go together if we drive away
Suggesting unity in facing challenges and the option to leave together if needed.
And we can drive away
Reiterating the possibility of driving away but now as a joint decision.
If we need to start again, that's ok, we can
Expressing the readiness to start anew together if necessary.
Drive away
Affirming the joint ability to drive away as a couple.
Till we find that place where we can live on faith
Aspiring to find a place where faith sustains the relationship without the need to leave.
That we'll never again have to drive away
Expressing the hope to establish a stable and lasting home together.
