Drivers License
Journey through Heartbreak: Driving Alone Past Memories
Lyrics
I got my driver's license last week
I recently obtained my driver's license.
Just like we always talked about
It was a plan or discussion we had together.
'Cause you were so excited for me
You were excited for me to have it.
To finally drive up to your house
I drove to your house for the first time.
But today I drove through the suburbs
Today, I drove through the suburbs.
Crying 'cause you weren't around
I cried because you were not there.
And you're probably with that blonde girl
You might be with another girl.
Who always made me doubt
This girl made me doubt our relationship.
She's so much older than me
The other girl is older and embodies my insecurities.
She's everything I'm insecure about
She represents everything I lack confidence in.
Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
I revisited the suburbs, contemplating my feelings.
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?
How can I love someone else after you?
And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
Despite our imperfections, I've never felt this way for anyone.
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
I can't understand how you seem okay after our breakup.
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
Your actions contradict the sentiments in the song you wrote about me.
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
You promised forever, but now I drive alone past your street.
And all my friends are tired
My friends are weary of hearing about my longing for you.
Of hearing how much I miss you, but
Despite their fatigue, I feel sorry for them.
I kinda feel sorry for them
They will never know you as intimately as I do.
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah
Again, I drove through the suburbs, imagining coming home to you.
Today I drove through the suburbs
The imperfections in our relationship are acknowledged.
And pictured I was driving home to you
Visualizing driving home to you intensifies my emotions.
And I know we weren't perfect
Despite our flaws, my feelings for you are unique.
But I've never felt this way for no one, oh
This intense emotion is unprecedented for me.
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone
It's perplexing how you seem unaffected by our breakup.
I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
Your song contradicts your current emotional state.
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Your promise of forever contrasts with my solitary drives past your street.
Red lights, stop signs
Encountering red lights and stop signs triggers memories of you.
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
Your presence lingers in familiar places.
Can't drive past the places we used to go to
I avoid places we used to go, still deeply in love with you.
'Cause I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I express my continued love for you despite the pain.
Sidewalks we crossed
Even sidewalks remind me of the moments we shared.
I still hear your voice in the traffic, we're laughing
Your voice echoes in the noise of traffic, laughter still vivid.
Over all the noise
Amidst the noise, the memories remain.
God, I'm so blue, know we're through
I am deeply saddened, knowing our relationship has ended.
But I still fuckin' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Despite the breakup, my love for you persists.
I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
Our relationship wasn't perfect, but my feelings were genuine.
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone
I can't comprehend how you've moved on so easily.
'Cause you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
Your actions don't align with the sentiments expressed in your song about me.
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Your promise of forever contrasts with my solitary drives past your street.
Yeah, you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Your commitment to forever is contradicted by my lonely drives past your street.
