drivers license
jxdn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house
But today I drove through the suburbs
Crying 'cause you weren't around
And you're probably with that blonde girl
She's so much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about, yeah
Today I drove through the suburbs
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?
'Cause I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine
How you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
And all my friends are tired
Of hearing how much I miss you, but
I kinda feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah
Today I drove through the suburbs
And pictured I was driving home to you
'Cause I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine
How you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
Can't drive past the places we used to go to
'Cause I still fuckin' love you, babe, babe
Sidewalks we crossed
I still hear your voice in the traffic, we're laughing
Over all the noise
God, I'm so blue, know we're through
But I still fuckin' love you, babe, babe (babe)
I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine
How you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
The song "Drivers License" by jxdn is about a heartbroken girl who recently got her driver's license, but instead of feeling the freedom of the open road, she is driving around her ex-boyfriend's neighborhood, reminiscing about their past relationship. She is crying because he is not there with her, and she feels insecure about the fact that he may be with another girl who used to make her doubt herself. She cannot understand how he could be so okay with their breakup while she is still in love with him.
Throughout the song, the girl is torn between her lingering feelings for her ex and the reality that their relationship is over. She cannot help but think about all the places they used to go together and the memories they shared. She is still in love with him, despite the fact that all her friends are tired of hearing about it.
The chorus repeats the theme of the song with the girl admitting that they weren't perfect but she has never felt this way for anyone else, and she can't imagine how he could be so okay with their breakup. She questions his sincerity in their relationship, wondering if he meant it when he sang about forever. The girl concludes the song by admitting that she still drives past his street, even though it hurts, because deep down she still loves him.

I got my driver's license last week
I recently obtained my driver's license
Just like we always talked about
As we once discussed
'Cause you were so excited for me
You were thrilled for me
To finally drive up to your house
To drive directly to your residence
But today I drove through the suburbs
Today I drove through the suburbs
Crying 'cause you weren't around
Tears streaming down my face for your absence
And you're probably with that blonde girl
You're most likely with that blonde girl
Who always made me doubt
That girl who made me second-guess myself
She's so much older than me
That girl is much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about, yeah
All the things that make me feel insufficient
Today I drove through the suburbs
Today I drove through the suburbs
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?
How could I ever love another person?
'Cause I know we weren't perfect
Because I know we were not flawless
But I've never felt this way for no one
But I've never felt this way for anyone
And I just can't imagine
It's hard for me to fathom
How you could be so okay now that I'm gone
How you could be so nonchalant now that I'm out of your life
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
I assume you didn't intend the song you wrote about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
You once promised eternity, but now I pass your street alone
And all my friends are tired
All of my friends are exhausted
Of hearing how much I miss you, but
Of listening to how much I yearn for you
I kinda feel sorry for them
I feel slightly guilty for putting them through it
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah
Because they could never comprehend you as I do
Sidewalks we crossed
Pavements we walked on
I still hear your voice in the traffic, we're laughing
I can still hear your laughter in the commotion
Over all the noise
Above all the distraction
God, I'm so blue, know we're through
Gosh, I'm feeling very lonesome, I know it's over
But I still fuckin' love you, babe, babe
However, I still love you
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
I still see your visage in white autos and front yards
Can't drive past the places we used to go to
I can't drive by the places we visited before
'Cause I still fuckin' love you, babe, babe
Because I still love you
I know we weren't perfect
I acknowledge that we were not faultless
But I've never felt this way for no one
But there was never anyone else who made me feel this way
And I just can't imagine
I just can't comprehend
How you could be so okay now that I'm gone
How you could be so unaffected now that I'm not there
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
Perhaps you weren't genuine about what you sang about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
You promised forever, but I pass your street alone now
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
You said forever, and now I pass your street alone
