Ghosts
Drive Like I Do Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, you always seem to get what you want
Yo oh oh yo oh oh you seem to get better
And I'm dreaming, you're bleeding, depleted
And I'm bouncing off the floor and your ceiling
This feeling guess the meaning
You know oh oh you know oh oh you seem to get better
And I still lie outside
Well this car moves faster than I'm ever gonna find you
Well this car moves faster than I'm ever gonna find you

So go take a little bit if you want
If you want to go and take a little bit if you want to
You're bleeding, depleted guess the meaning
You know oh oh you know oh oh you seem to get better
I, I I'm the prince of the Tyne
Guess you wouldn't know cause you sleep on your side
I guess you wouldn't know, I guess you wouldn't know
You seem to get better

Well this car moves faster than I'm ever gonna find you
Well this car moves faster than I'm ever gonna find you
Well this car moves faster than I'm ever gonna find you
Well this car moves faster than I'm ever gonna find you

Well this car moves faster than I'm ever gonna find you
Well this car moves faster than I'm ever gonna find you




Well this car moves faster than I'm ever gonna find you
Well this car moves faster than I'm ever gonna find you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Ghosts" by Drive Like I Do (Cry) seem to describe a feeling of disappointment and longing for someone who always seems to get what they want. The first verse sets the scene with the singer dreaming while this other person is "bleeding, depleted," and seemingly unaware of the singer's existence. The chorus repeats the line "Well this car moves faster than I'm ever gonna find you" which could symbolize the futility of trying to keep up with someone who is always one step ahead.


The second verse includes an interesting line that could provide clues to the song's meaning - "I'm the prince of the Tyne, guess you wouldn't know cause you sleep on your side." The Tyne is a river in Northeast England, and the line could be a reference to the singer's hometown or an important place in their life that this other person doesn't know about. The rest of the verse repeats the theme of the other person being oblivious to the singer's feelings and needs.


Overall, "Ghosts" seems to be a melancholy reflection on someone who is always out of reach, no matter how hard the singer tries to catch up to them.
