Drive
David Guetta Black Coffee Delilah Montagu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To break free from the bond of your love
And I ain't been strong enough
To let go and let gone
I can't see clear enough
To look past the dust you left behind
And I can't get high enough
So I'll drive
Ten thousand miles into the dead of night
Till I run out of love for you, baby
Till I've got no more love for you, baby
Oh, I'll drive
Ten thousand miles into the endless sky
Till I run out of love for you, baby
Till I've got no more love for you, baby
I will drive all night
I will drive all night
Leave it all behind
I will drive all night
I will drive all night
I will drive all night
Leave it all behind
I will drive all night
I will drive all night
I paint a silhouette (I paint a silhouette)
In the shadow of every headlight
I turn up my radio (Turn up my radio)
But I can't turn off my mind
Somehow you get to me (Somehow you get to me)
It don't matter the distance I go
All love is dead to me (Dead to me)
But I believe in ghosts
So I'll drive
Ten thousand miles into the dead of night
Till I run out of love for you, baby
Till I've got no more love for you, baby
Oh, I'll drive
Ten thousand miles into the endless sky
Till I run out of love for you, baby
Till I've got no more love for you, baby
I will drive all night
I will drive all night
Leave it all behind
I will drive all night
I will drive all night
I will drive all night
Leave it all behind
I will drive all night
I will drive all night

I can't go fast enough
I am unable to move quickly in order to distance myself from you
To break free from the bond of your love
To escape the emotional attachment that ties me to you
And I ain't been strong enough
I have not possessed enough inner strength
To let go and let gone
To release and move on completely
I can't see clear enough
I am unable to discern clearly
To look past the dust you left behind
To overlook the negative impact that you have left on me
And I can't get high enough
I cannot reach a state of euphoria
To forget why I cry (I cry, I cry)
To eradicate the reasons why I cry
So I'll drive
I will take a long journey
Ten thousand miles into the dead of night
I will travel a great distance in the darkness of night
Till I run out of love for you, baby
Until my love for you has diminished entirely
Till I've got no more love for you, baby
Until all love for you has been extinguished
Oh, I'll drive
I will embark on this journey with determination
Ten thousand miles into the endless sky
I will travel a great distance into the open sky
I will drive all night
I will continue driving throughout the entire night
Leave it all behind
I will abandon everything associated with you
I paint a silhouette (I paint a silhouette)
I create an image in my mind
In the shadow of every headlight
In the darkness of every passing car
I turn up my radio (Turn up my radio)
I increase the volume of my music
But I can't turn off my mind
I am unable to silence my thoughts
Somehow you get to me (Somehow you get to me)
For some reason, you still have an effect on me
It don't matter the distance I go
No matter how far I travel
All love is dead to me (Dead to me)
I feel no attachment or affection towards anyone
But I believe in ghosts
I still believe that the memories of past love linger
