Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna drive you through the night down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something you don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dumped but have no fear
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
There's something inside you, boy
I'm giving you a nightcall to tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something you don't want to hear
I'm gonna show you where it's dumped but have no fear
There's something inside you
It's hard to explain
They're talking about you, boy
But you're still the same
Tell you how,
Tell you how,
Tell you how.
I'm giving you a nightcall to tell you how I feel
I'm gonna drive you through the night down the hills
I'm gonna tell you something you don't want to hear
I'm giving you a nightcall to tell you how I feel and how I feel
