Drive Darling
Boy Lyrics

You close the door and start the motor
You set things in motion as we prepare to leave.

I roll the window down
I take in the fresh air and appreciate the moment.

I raise my hand and wave goodbye
I bid farewell to the familiar faces we're leaving behind.

To neighborhood queens and clowns and children in the front yards
We say goodbye to the people in our surroundings.

They hide and seek and laugh
The children continue playing in their innocence.

I can almost hear you thinking how could these days go by so fast
We reflect on how quickly time has flown by.

And no rear view could picture what we leave behind
We can't imagine what's in store for us in the future.

Drive darling, drive darling, drive
We encourage the driver to keep moving forward.

A silent conversation, no words cause there's no need
We communicate without speaking as we share the moment.

We let the tapes mix up the years and press repeat and press repeat
We relive the past through our music and memories.

The trunk is filled with records and books and tears and clothes
Our belongings represent everything we've collected over the years.

I'm smiling on the surface, I'm scared as hell below
I'm optimistic but also anxious about the unknown future.

Good morning freedom, good night lullabies
We embrace the freedom of the road and the comfort of our lullabies.

And when we arrive, the hardest of goodbyes
Saying goodbye is never easy, even when it's expected.

You will dry my eyes, somehow you're always by my side
You're always there to comfort me when I need it most.

The one who holds my kite and watches over all my flights
You're my support system, always ready to uplift me.

Once, once that we arrive, the hardest of goodbyes
Even though it's difficult, we know we have to move on with our lives.

And no rear view could picture what we leave behind
The future remains a mystery and we can't predict what's to come.

Drive darling, drive darling, drive
We continue to push onwards, seeking new adventures.
