Jazz on the Drive Home
Dutch Melrose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah I don’t think I’m happy
Unless I’m in love
Helpless and romantic
And all of the above
Why’s it feel so tragic?
When I don’t get enough
I don’t think I ever thanked you for it
Something about us was so euphoric
And I know we don’t talk, but hope you know that
We started it all
The first one you loves the hardest you fall
Yeah, we were only 17
Small town kids livin’ it the wildest
Aint no where I’d rather be
Except with you after school at your moms house
We’d fall to the coach
Pressed to your mouth
Sweeter than jazz on the drive home
Yeah you were the right one
And now I don’t think I’m happy
Unless I’m in love
Helpless and romantic
And all of the above
Why’s it feel so tragic?
When I don’t get enough
When all I needs your love, your love x3
And first off I gotta say
If it wasn’t for you I would never change
Double tap through the years, in a better place
But I know that I owe that to you all the same
You taught me the game
You taught me that love works in mysterious ways
Taught me that there’s no mistakes
Only the lessons you learn long the way
And I know that’s ok
When its always been true
And I owe that to you
I owe that to you
And now I don’t think I’m happy
Unless I’m in love
Helpless and romantic
And all of the above
Why’s it feel so tragic?
When I don’t get enough
When all I needs your love, your love x3

There was something incredibly joyful and blissful about our connection
And I know we don’t talk, but hope you know that
I understand that we no longer communicate, but I hope you're aware
We started it all
We were the ones who initiated everything
The first one you loves the hardest you fall
The first person you love, you fall for them the most intensely
Yeah, we were only 17
Yes, we were merely seventeen years old
Small town kids livin’ it the wildest
Kids from a small town living life to the fullest, embracing adventure
Aint no where I’d rather be
There is nowhere else I would prefer to be
Except with you after school at your moms house
Except spending time with you at your mother's house after school
We’d fall to the coach
We would collapse onto the couch
Pressed to your mouth
Getting close and intimately connected with your lips
Sweeter than jazz on the drive home
Even more delightful and pleasurable than listening to jazz music while driving home
Yeah you were the right one
Yes, you were the perfect choice for me
And first off I gotta say
First and foremost, I must express
If it wasn’t for you I would never change
Without you, I would have never undergone any transformation
Double tap through the years, in a better place
Progressing together and experiencing significant growth, reaching a more positive state
But I know that I owe that to you all the same
However, I am aware that I am indebted to you equally
You taught me the game
You taught me how to navigate life and love
You taught me that love works in mysterious ways
You taught me that love operates in enigmatic and unpredictable manners
Taught me that there’s no mistakes
You taught me that there are no true mistakes
Only the lessons you learn long the way
Only the valuable insights gained throughout the journey
And I know that’s ok
And I understand that it is acceptable
When its always been true
When it has always been genuine and authentic
And I owe that to you
And I attribute that to you
I don’t think I’m happy
I don't believe that I can truly experience happiness
Unless I’m in love
unless I am deeply and passionately in love
Helpless and romantic

And all of the above

Why’s it feel so tragic?
Why does it feel so heartbreaking, sorrowful?
When I don’t get enough
when I am not receiving adequate love and affection
When all I needs your love, your love x3
When all I truly desire and require is your love, your love, your love
