The band formed in February 2005 by Adam and played their first gig (a set of covers) at a MYB in Macclesfield two days later (the gig was actually booked before they had a drummer). They were received very well and all five guys decided to take things seriously (the idea had originally been just for the one show). A couple of months later and Drive Like I Do (or Me and You vs Them at the time) started to write original material and since then have recorded two 4 track demos, one in July at the Cutting Rooms in Manchester and the latest in Newcastle in October
Love Without Sleep
Drive Like I Do Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You should have chose
You're making me and breaking me
I tried to be like you
And knocked down she wants you to and I
When you fall asleep tonight
Because you dream of me
I can barely open my eyes
Now the telephone rang when you
Weren't getting any answer
You said you know she slept with him
Fuck the rain I'll walk back home
I can't find you i can feel you're here
And now when you fall
Asleep you'll think tonight
You might just dream of me
That's why I'm not asleep right now
I can barely open my eyes
Now the telephone rang when you
Weren't getting any answer
You said you know she slept with him
Fuck the rain I'll walk back home
That's why I'm not asleep right now
I can barely open my eyes
Now the telephone rang when you
Weren't getting any answer
You said you know she slept with him
Fuck the rain I'll walk back home
The lyrics to Drive Like I Do's song "Love Without Sleep" seem to revolve around themes of longing, heartbreak, and the struggle to move on from a failed relationship. The lyrics suggest a scenario in which the singer's love interest chose someone else over them, causing them pain and confusion.
The first verse implies that the singer tried to emulate or please their love interest but ended up feeling broken and torn apart by the situation. The mention of a phone number could symbolize trying to reach out or connect with the person, but feeling unsuccessful in doing so.
The chorus reveals the singer's inability to sleep, indicating a lingering attachment or obsession with the love interest. The line "Because you dream of me" suggests a hope that the love interest still thinks about the singer, even in their dreams.
The second verse continues to depict the singer's insomnia and their desperate need to find or be with the love interest. The mention of the telephone ringing without an answer highlights the lack of communication or response from the other person. The phrase "Fuck the rain, I'll walk back home" could signify the determination to face any obstacle or discomfort in order to be reunited with the love interest.

You should have chose
You're making me and breaking me
I tried to be like you
And knocked down she wants you to
And I
When you fall asleep tonight
Because you dream of me
That's why I'm not asleep right now; I can barely open my eyes
Now the telephone rang when you weren't getting any answer
You said you know she slept with him
Fuck the rain I'll walk back home
I can't find you
I can feel you're here
And now when you fall asleep you'll think tonight
You might just dream of me
That's why I'm not asleep right now; I can barely open my eyes
Now the telephone rang when you weren't getting any answer
You said you know she slept with him
Fuck the rain I'll walk back home
That's why I'm not asleep right now; I can barely open my eyes
Now the telephone rang when you weren't getting any answer
You said you know she slept with him
Fuck the rain I'll walk back home (x2)

They’re so versatile I love it. They can hop in and out of any genre they want and make it seem as if it’s their speciality.
