This Song's For You
Long Drive Home Lyrics

The first verse of Long Drive Home's song "This Song's For You" is filled with a sense of urgency and repetition. The singer is showing up at two o'clock, likely in the morning, to tell someone what they're up to. This person has been told "ten times over" already, indicating that this is a conversation that has been had before. The singer then suggests that it's time to have a drink and "stop and think," which suggests that perhaps the reason for the repeated conversations and the sense of urgency is related to a relationship or a difficult situation. The line "this times its the truth" suggests that perhaps the singer has not been entirely honest in previous conversations.

The chorus describes the emotions that the singer is feeling - their eyes fill with tears, even while the other person is near. This could suggest that the situation is fraught with emotion or that there is a sense of distance or disconnect between the two. The second verse flips the script, with the other person showing up at the singer's door at 2am. Again, the sense of repetition is present, with the singer having told this person "ten times over." The final line of the verse, "I think it's about time to sit down and write some rhymes," suggests that perhaps the singer is a musician or songwriter, and is using their art to express the complex emotions they're feeling.

Overall, the song is a reflection on a relationship or a difficult situation that has been complicated by repeated conversations and a lack of understanding. The repetition in the lyrics suggests a sense of frustration and the need to communicate something that hasn't been fully understood or acknowledged.
