Lyrics
Standing all alone in the parking lot light
Feeling isolated under the parking lot lights.
Nobody knows what we're doin' tonight
Secrecy surrounds the activities planned for the night.
There's gas in the car, we'll hitch it to a star
Prepared to embark on a journey with fuel and dreams.
And I'll take you far from home
Expressing the intention to take the listener far from their current location.
We'll drive away, leave the lonely days behind
Leaving behind a past of loneliness and sorrow.
Don't worry 'bout a thing
Encouraging the listener not to worry about the consequences.
No one's gonna know, if we just
Assuring that the actions will go unnoticed.
Drive away, don't matter what they say tonight
Reiterating the theme of driving away, regardless of others' opinions.
Throw your suitcase in the back
Suggesting a spontaneous decision by mentioning throwing a suitcase in the back.
No one's gonna know if we just
Reassuring the secrecy of the departure.
Drive away
Emphasizing the idea of driving away as a solution.
Nobody cares about the love that we've found
Highlighting the indifference of others towards the love between the couple.
Because nobody knows what love means in this town
Explaining that the town lacks understanding of the meaning of love.
So brush back your hair, wipe the tear from your eye
Encouraging the listener to compose themselves and be ready for the journey.
And I'll take you far from home
Reiterating the commitment to taking the listener away from their current situation.
We'll drive away, leave the lonely days behind
Continuing the theme of leaving behind loneliness and embracing a new beginning.
Don't worry 'bout a thing
Reassuring the listener to not worry about the consequences.
No one's gonna know, if we just
Repeating the idea that the escape will go unnoticed by others.
Drive away, don't matter what they say tonight
Emphasizing the decision to drive away despite potential criticism.
Throw your suitcase in the back
Prompting the listener to prepare for the journey by throwing a suitcase in the back.
No one's gonna know
Reassuring the secrecy of the departure.
No one's gonna find us
Affirming that their location will remain undiscovered.
We'll be miles away when they realize we're gone
Anticipating being far away before others realize their absence.
We'll leave them all behind us
Expressing determination to leave everyone behind on the highway.
At the losing end of this highway that we're on
Describing the end of the journey as a point where others lose.
Yeah, we'll be gone
Acknowledging the finality of their departure.
We'll drive away, leave the lonely days behind
Repeating the desire to leave behind lonely days and drive away.
Don't worry 'bout a thing
Encouraging the listener to be carefree and not worry.
No one's gonna know, if we just
Reiterating the theme of secrecy in the decision to drive away.
Drive away
Emphasizing the resolution to drive away.
Standing all alone in the parking lot light
Returning to the scene in the parking lot under the light.
Nobody knows what we're doin' tonight
Repeating the secrecy surrounding their actions for the night.
There's gas in the car, we'll hitch it to a star
Reiterating the readiness for the journey with a car full of gas.
And I'll take you far from home
Reaffirming the commitment to take the listener far from home.
