Driving Home for Christmas
Journey of Love: Homebound for Christmas with Saint Etienne
Lyrics
I'm driving home for Christmas
I'm embarking on a journey to return home for Christmas.
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I eagerly anticipate reuniting with familiar and beloved faces.
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Reiteration of the anticipation and excitement about driving home for Christmas.
Well I'm moving down the line
I'm progressing along the route or path towards my destination.
And it's been so long but I will be there
Despite the passage of time, I will reach my destination and be present.
I sing this song to pass the time away
I'm singing this song to make the time pass more quickly during the journey.
Driving home for Christmas
Reiteration of the theme of driving home for Christmas.
Top to toe in tailbacks
Describes being stuck in traffic, from head to toe, emphasizing the congestion of vehicles.
Oh, I caught red lights on the run
Encountering red traffic lights, possibly causing delays or pauses in the journey.
Get my feet on snowy ground
Expressing the desire to step onto snowy ground upon arrival.
So I sing for you though you can hear me
Despite the physical distance, the singer sings for someone dear, even if they can't hear.
When I get through and feel you near me
Anticipating the moment of connection when the singer arrives and feels close to the person being sung to.
I'm driving home for Christmas
Reiteration of the main theme of driving home for Christmas.
With a thousand memories
Bringing with them a multitude of memories while driving home for Christmas.
I'm driving home for Christmas
Restating the intention and excitement of driving home for Christmas.
I look at the driver next to me
Observing the driver in the neighboring vehicle and finding commonality in the shared experience of heading home for Christmas.
He's just the same
Noting the similarity in the emotions or situation of the nearby driver.
