Rex Goudie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We'll go where there's lights out
The night's out of starlight anyway
Maybe we'll find out
I'll catch you before you run away

I can feel my heart out loud
Like a radio without a sound
Are you waiting for a new morning
Are you waiting for my hands on your skin
If you're waiting for what might have been
I'll stay awake
You close your eyes
And I'll just drive

Maybe somewhere
There's nowhere better than right now
We are like windows
And jet planes high above the clouds

Like a train of crush of dreams go by
Rain clouds full of you and I

Are you waiting for a new morning
Are you waiting for my hands on your skin
If you're waiting for what might have been
I'll stay awake
You close your eyes
And I'll just drive

I'll stay awake
With you
One more night
With you
One more dream
Come true

Are you waiting for a new morning
Are you waiting for my hands on your skin

If you're waiting for what might have been (and I'll just drive)
Are you waiting for a new morning (and I'll just drive)
Are you waiting for my hands on your skin (and I'll just drive)
If you're waiting for what might have been
I'll stay awake




You close your eyes
And I'll just drive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rex Goudie's "Drive" explore the theme of love and the joyride that comes with it. The opening lines, "We'll go where there's lights out, the night's out of starlight anyway, maybe we'll find out," suggests a spontaneous adventure, an invitation to explore the uncharted territories of love. The singer promises not to let the opportunity slip away, as he declares, "I'll catch you before you run away." The passionate and romantic undertones of the song is further emphasized when he confesses, "I can feel my heart out loud, like a radio without a sound." The vivid imagery of the night sky and the idea that the couple is flying high like jet planes above the clouds, suggest that they are on an almost surreal and dreamlike journey.


The chorus reinforces the idea that they are running away from reality and the constraints of the world. The repetition of the line, "Are you waiting for a new morning," suggests a need for a fresh start, possibly away from whatever troubles the couple is facing. The singer assures his lover that he will stay awake and drive them towards their dreams, while they can just surrender to the moment, "You close your eyes, and I'll just drive."


The final lines of the song, "I'll stay awake with you, one more night with you, one more dream come true," show an optimism in the strength of the relationship, the possibility of experiencing moments of ecstasy once more.


Overall, the lyrics to "Drive" are a yearning for a love that is adventurous, playful and multidimensional. This is further reinforced by the driving instrumentation and up-tempo melody of the song that complements the lyrics.
