Driving Home for Christmas
Journey to Love: Homebound Melodies for a Joyous Christmas
Lyrics
I'm driving home for Christmas
I am on my way back home for Christmas.
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I am excited to reunite with familiar faces.
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Reiteration of the intention to drive home for Christmas.
Well I'm moving down that line
I am progressing along the journey.
And it's been so long
It has been a considerable amount of time.
But I will be there
Despite the time, I will reach there.
I sing this song
I am expressing my feelings through this song.
To pass the time away
Singing to make the time pass more quickly.
Driving in my car
I am driving my car.
Driving home for Christmas
I am driving home specifically for Christmas.
It's gonna take some time
It will take some time to reach my destination.
But I'll get there
Despite the time delay, I will eventually arrive.
Top to toe in tailbacks
Referring to being stuck in a traffic jam.
Oh, I got red lights on the run
Encountering red traffic lights along the way.
But soon there'll be a freeway yeah
Anticipating reaching a freeway soon.
Get my feet on holy ground
Expressing the desire to stand on sacred ground.
So I sing for you
Dedicating the song to someone not physically present.
Though you can't hear me
Acknowledging that the person cannot hear the song at the moment.
When I get through
Expressing the intention to connect once arriving.
And feel you near me
Anticipating a close emotional connection upon arrival.
Driving in my car
Reiteration of driving in the car.
I'm driving home for Christmas
Driving home specifically for Christmas.
Driving home for Christmas
Repetition for emphasis.
With a thousand memories
Recalling numerous past memories associated with Christmas.
I take a look at the driver next to me
Observing the driver in the adjacent vehicle.
He's just the same
Noticing similarities with the other driver.
Just the same
Emphasizing the commonality with the fellow driver.
Top to toe in tailbacks
Reiteration of being stuck in a traffic jam.
Oh, I got red lights all around, uh
Encountering more red lights around.
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Reaffirming the journey home for Christmas.
Get my feet on holy ground
Anticipating reaching sacred ground again.
So I sing for you
Repeating dedication through song despite physical absence.
Though you can't hear me
Acknowledging the current inability to be heard.
When I get through
Reaffirming the intention to connect upon arrival.
Oh and feel you near me
Anticipating a close emotional connection upon arrival (repeated).
Driving in my car
Reiteration of driving in the car.
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home specifically for Christmas (repeated).
Driving home for Christmas
Repetition for emphasis (repeated).
With a thousand memories
Recalling numerous past memories associated with Christmas (repeated).
I take a look at the driver next to me
Observing the driver in the adjacent vehicle (repeated).
He's just the same
Noticing similarities with the other driver (repeated).
He's driving home, driving home
Emphasizing the commonality with the fellow driver (repeated).
Driving home for Christmas
Repetition for emphasis (repeated).
Driving home for Christmas
