drivers license
Conor Maynard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got my driver's license last week
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house
But today I drove through the suburbs
Crying 'cause you weren't around

And you're probably with that blonde girl
Who always made me doubt
She's so much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about
Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?

And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

And all my friends are tired
Of hearing how much I miss you, but
I kinda feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah
Today I drove through the suburbs
And pictured I was driving home to you

And I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt this way for no one, oh
No, I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone




I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Conor Maynard's song "Driver's License" are emotional and evoke a sense of heartbreak and longing. The song talks about the experience of getting your driver's license and driving alone while reminiscing about a past romantic relationship. The singer shares how they had imagined driving to their lover's house to show off their new driver's license. However, the realization hits that their ex-lover is no longer there, and that realization leads to the singer driving through the suburbs, crying.


The lyrics go on to share that the singer's ex-lover may be with someone else, someone older and more mature, adding to the feelings of insecurity and jealousy. The singer confesses that although they knew their relationship wasn't perfect, they had never felt this way about anyone else before. The lyrics also suggest that the singer's ex-lover wrote a song about them, promising forever, yet now they drive alone past their old house, missing what they had.


Line by Line Meaning

I got my driver's license last week
I recently received my driver's license


Just like we always talked about
As we had planned before


'Cause you were so excited for me
As you were thrilled to see me achieve this


To finally drive up to your house
To come to your home driving on my own


But today I drove through the suburbs
However, I drove through the suburban area today


Crying 'cause you weren't around
As I was weeping because you were not there


And you're probably with that blonde girl
And you might be together with that fair-haired girl


Who always made me doubt
Who used to instill doubts in me


She's so much older than me
She's significantly older than I am


She's everything I'm insecure about
She represents everything that makes me feel unsure of myself


Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
Yes, I drove through the suburban area today


'Cause how could I ever love someone else?
For how could I ever build affection for anyone else?


And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
I admit we had flaws, but I never had this level of emotions towards anyone else


And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
I find it hard to believe that you could be so fine after our separation


Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
Perhaps you did not express genuine intentions when you wrote that song referring to me


'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
As you promised eternal love, yet I drive alone on your street at present


And all my friends are tired
My friends are all fed up


Of hearing how much I miss you, but
Of me revealing how much I miss you, however


I kinda feel sorry for them
I somewhat pity them


'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah
As they will never comprehend you the way I know you


Today I drove through the suburbs
Today, I drove through the suburban area


And pictured I was driving home to you
And imagined myself driving back to your place


And I know we weren't perfect
And I understand that our relationship had its flaws


But I've never felt this way for no one, oh
But I never felt this way for anyone else


No, I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone
No, I am unable to fathom how you could be so fine without me


I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
I assume that you did not hold true to your lyrics about me


'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
As you swore that we would be together forever, but now I drive alone on your street
