ESCAPE
Drive Away with You: A Journey of Liberation and Love
Lyrics
The whole world is watching, watching us race against time like
The global audience is observing, witnessing our race against time.
We’re out of luck, drifting through our work days
We are unlucky, drifting through our daily work routine.
I was right to misbehave, not waste a night just like, just like everyone
The speaker acknowledges the appropriateness of their rebellious behavior, avoiding wasting a night like everyone else.
I’m all good though wasting away
Despite challenges, the speaker remains composed but is deteriorating.
I keep a one-track mind, (and) hold up a sign
The speaker maintains a focused mindset and signals with a sign.
And so I imply the different ways
The speaker suggests various ways to drive away, implying a desire for escape.
That I could drive, drive, drive away with you
Expressing the urge to physically escape with someone.
Drive away with you
Reiteration of the desire to drive away with someone.
Is this the right way to go, watch me as I blow (here goes)
Questioning the chosen path and a declaration of action with a sense of risk.
Everybody’s running, babe, you’re running too much
Observation that everyone is in a rush, including the person addressed as "babe."
I always wanted to show you some of that but I know
The speaker wanted to reveal something but hesitated due to nervousness.
How I was nervous all day
Recollection of being nervous throughout a day.
I want to see, I want to see the outside
Expressing a desire to experience and explore the outside world.
And be all ready for the sun and sand beachside
Anticipation of being prepared for a sunny beachside experience.
I feel I’m ready to make it through one day with you
Feeling ready to endure a day with someone.
I could be ready to drive away with you
Expressing readiness to drive away with someone.
Drive away with you
Repetition of the desire to drive away.
Drive away with you
-Drive away with you
-Ooh
Exclamation, possibly indicating emotion.
When I first met you, it felt like I knew you
Recalling the initial meeting, feeling a sense of familiarity.
And though we were young and naïve I was too scared to see
Despite youth and naivety, the speaker was afraid to recognize a potential escape.
Had we run away then, had we run away when
Reflecting on a missed opportunity to escape in the past.
Our escape could have been, oh we could have gone free
Imagining the possibility of freedom if they had run away.
Drive away with you
Reiteration of the desire to drive away.
Drive away with you
-Drive away with you
-Don’t slow down, don’t look back (drive away with you)
Encouragement not to slow down or look back, emphasizing leaving worries and old roads behind during the escape.
Leave all worries, old roads behind (drive away with you)
-Don’t stop now, don’t look back (drive away with you)
-Leave all worries, old roads behind
Final encouragement to continue the escape without stopping, leaving behind concerns and past paths.
