Drive
Halsey/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swerving on the 405, I can never keep my eyes off this
My neck, the feeling of your soft lips
Illuminated in the light, bouncing off the exit signs I missed
All we do is drive
All we do is think about the feelings that we hide
All we do is sit in silence waiting for a sign
All we do is drive
And California never felt like home to me
And California never felt like home
And California never felt like home to me
Until I had you on the open road and now we're singing
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Your laugh, echoes down the hallway
Carves into my hollow chest, spreads over the emptiness
It's bliss
It's so simple but we can't stay
Over analyze again, would it really kill you if we kissed
All we do is drive
All we do is think about the feelings that we hide
All we do is sit in silence waiting for a sign
Sick and full of pride
All we do is drive
And California never felt like home to me
And California never felt like home
And California never felt like home to me
Until I had you on the open road and I was singing
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
The song "Drive" by Halsey is a song about a relationship that is based on just driving around and not necessarily having to go anywhere in particular. The singer's hands are wrapped around the stick shift of their car as they swerve along the 405 highway. The singer cannot take their eyes off of whomever they are driving with, expressing that they are infatuated with them. They describe the feeling of their partner's soft lips on their neck, illuminated by the lights bouncing off of the exit signs that are being missed as they drive by.
Throughout the song, the singer repeats the phrase "All we do is drive," which could be interpreted as the relationship being somewhat one-dimensional, where driving is the only thing they can do together without any issues arising. The lyrics suggest that they are both avoiding having deep conversations and instead sitting in silence, waiting for some sort of sign to fill the void between them. They are portrayed as being sick and full of pride, which could suggest that they are both too scared to confront their feelings, or unwilling to compromise with one another.
The chorus repeats the line "And California never felt like home to me" three times, with the final time being "Until I had you on the open road and now we're singing." This could indicate that California, or wherever they are, wasn't where the singer felt most comfortable until they had found someone they had this connection with. The song then ends with repeating the "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah" line from before, which could represent the happy and content feeling that the singer feels while being with their partner.
Overall, "Drive" by Halsey is a song about experiencing the feeling of finding comfort, love, and contentment while being with someone as you drive around with them.

My hands wrapped around your stick shift
I'm holding onto your gearstick, it's thrilling
Swerving on the 405, I can never keep my eyes off this
Driving recklessly on the 405, I can't take my eyes off you
My neck, the feeling of your soft lips
You kissing my neck is the best feeling
Illuminated in the light, bouncing off the exit signs I missed
The light reflects off us and the missed exit signs, it's beautiful
All we do is drive
We spend all our time driving around aimlessly
All we do is think about the feelings that we hide
We both have emotions we don't express, it consumes us
All we do is sit in silence waiting for a sign
We sit in silence hoping the other will make a move or give a sign
Sick and full of pride
Our stubbornness is causing issues between us
And California never felt like home to me
Until I met you, California never felt like a place I belong
Until I had you on the open road and now we're singing
Now that we're driving together, I feel like I'm finally home and we're happy
Your laugh, echoes down the hallway
Your laugh fills the hallway and it's comforting
Carves into my hollow chest, spreads over the emptiness
Your laughter fills my empty heart and makes me feel whole
It's bliss
Being with you is pure happiness
It's so simple but we can't stay
Our situation is uncomplicated, but we can't seem to stay together
Over analyze again, would it really kill you if we kissed
We're overthinking things again, would it be so bad if we kissed?
