Just Drive
August Rigo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There′s danger in the way she looks at me
I think I probably make her slightly nervous
And honestly I wouldn't say a thing
But my day, this feeling′s finally came to surface
I keep switching radio stations
The songs that they're playing
Are making it awkward
And I'm pretty sure she feels it too

But since we′re on this road and since we′re on this ride
I hope she opens up to me and lets me get inside
I'm almost at her front door, I need time to get it right
I look at her, she looks at me and I can′t believe it when she tells me

Just drive 'til the morning light
Until the sun comes to get us
Can′t believe she said
Just drive 'til the morning light
Until the sun comes to get us

I thought about the possibilities
I didn′t think it'd go so picture perfect
And if this is not the way it's supposed to be
The journey here made every second worth it
We′re flying right through the city
We bumping that Drizzy
With no destination
And I′m pretty sure she's feeling it
Cause I′m feeling it

I figure if we're on this road and if we′re on this ride
I hope she opens up to me and lets me get inside
I don't know where we′re heading, it's the middle of the night
I look at her, she looks at me and I can't believe it when she tells me

Just drive ′til the morning light
Until the sun comes to get us
Can′t believe she said
Just drive 'til the morning light
Until the sun comes to get us

Dawn breaks, I don′t want this to be over
Can't wake her, how she′s sleeping on my shoulder
The radio's down, there′s no one around
It's only open road, wish there were no signs of slowing
Then I thought about the possibilities
But I didn't think it′d be so picture perfect
But now I have her sitting next to me
It′s makes every second worth it

So if we're on this road and if we′re on this ride
I hope she opens up to me and lets me get inside
She's waking up cause she can feel the sun is on the rise
I look at her, she looks at me, I know what she′s about to tell me

Just drive 'til the morning light
Until the sun comes to get us
Can′t believe she said
Just drive 'til the morning light
Until the sun comes to get us

Just drive 'til the morning light
Just drive ′til the morning light




Just drive ′til the morning light
Until the sun comes to get us

Overall Meaning

The song "Just Drive" by August Rigo is about taking a journey with someone you care about and experiencing life's uncertainties together. The lyrics convey a sense of excitement, adventure, and the desire to live in the moment. We start with the singer describing how he feels about the woman sitting in the car with him, someone who makes him slightly nervous but whom he hopes will open up to him. The two of them are driving with no destination in mind and are listening to music that adds to the awkward tension between them. However, after spending all night driving around the city, the couple is surprised at how perfect their journey has been. At this point, dawn breaks, but the couple wants to keep driving, not wanting the journey to end. They hope to continue their adventure until the sun comes up, and everything seems perfect again.


One interpretation of the song could be that the couple is avoiding deeper conversations because the emotions behind them are too raw or intense. The car serves as a barrier, keeping the two of them from opening up completely to each other. The song's theme of uncertainty in relationships is relatable to people of all ages and can be interpreted by everyone based on their own experiences.


Line by Line Meaning

There's danger in the way she looks at me
Her gaze causes a slight uneasiness in me


I think I probably make her slightly nervous
She's maybe a little anxious around me


And honestly I wouldn't say a thing
I'd rather not say anything to disrupt the moment


But my day, this feeling's finally come to surface
Despite my best efforts, I can't help but express my feelings


I keep switching radio stations
I'm changing songs constantly to avoid an awkward atmosphere


The songs that they're playing are making it awkward
The tunes being played create discomfort


And I'm pretty sure she feels it too
I suspect she's sensing the tension as well


But since we're on this road and since we're on this ride
Given our current situation


I hope she opens up to me and lets me get inside
I hope she lets me get to know her better and her life story


I'm almost at her front door, I need time to get it right
I've almost arrived at her place, I want to make it perfect


I look at her, she looks at me and I can't believe it when she tells me
She says something that blows me away


Just drive 'til the morning light
Let's ride along till the sun comes up


Until the sun comes to get us
Until it's daylight


I thought about the possibilities
I keep imagining a future


I didn't think it'd go so picture perfect
But it's better than I thought


And if this is not the way it's supposed to be
Even if things take an unexpected turn


The journey here made every second worth it
This ride was so good that it justifies everything


We're flying right through the city
We're moving quickly through the town


We bumping that Drizzy
We're listening to Drake's music


With no destination
We're not headed anywhere in particular


And I'm pretty sure she's feeling it
I'm almost sure she's enjoying this too


I figure if we're on this road and if we're on this ride
Since we're still on this outing


I hope she opens up to me and lets me get inside
I hope she begins to tell me more about herself


I don't know where we're heading, it's the middle of the night
It's quite late and I have no idea where we're headed


I look at her, she looks at me and I can't believe it when she tells me
She discloses something stunning to me


Dawn breaks, I don't want this to be over
The sun is beginning to rise, but I'm not done with this adventure


Can't wake her, how she's sleeping on my shoulder
She's resting on my shoulder, and it feels right


The radio's down, there's no one around
It's quiet and deserted for a while


It's only open road, wish there were no signs of slowing
I wish we could go on forever without any restraints


Then I thought about the possibilities
I again think of the possibilities of our future


But I didn't think it'd be so picture perfect
But the reality is even better than I'd predicted


But now I have her sitting next to me
We're together, and that's all that matters


It's makes every second worth it
Our time together makes everything worth it


She's waking up cause she can feel the sun is on the rise
She's stirring because the sun is coming up


I look at her, she looks at me, I know what she's about to tell me
She's about to say something significant, and I can sense it


Just drive 'til the morning light
She again tells me to keep riding till daybreak


Until the sun comes to get us
Until the dawn arrives


Just drive 'til the morning light
Continue driving till the morning


Just drive 'til the morning light
Keep going, and enjoy the ride


Until the sun comes to get us
Till daylight arrives
