Driving

Story Behind The Song

Simply inspired by memories of being a kid on long drives in the family car between interstate relatives. Song then changes to capture my feelings when I, as an adult, was often driving long trips on my own. I added some feelings and vibes about longing and love, and I created a song that covered my whole life on the road to date really.

Lyrics

An endless road
The white lines in my eyes
Nothing but shapeless clouds
On my horizon
Radio fades away
Into the distance
Lost beyond the shimmer
Of a heatwave
But in the quiet
I see your face

One by one I remember
Every time you smiled
Every time you laughed
Every time you cried
There's not enough numbers
In the world I'd need to
Count the ways
I miss you every day
Like I'm missing you today

Another day away
And again I'm thinking of you
I try to stay awake
But the vlack top's
Filling my view
Eyes are getting heavy
To send a warning
But i'm pushing on
To beat the sunset falling
'Coz there's somewhere
I need to be

One by one I remember
Every time you smiled
Every time you laughed
Every time you cried
There's not enough numbers
In the world I'd need to
Count the ways
I miss you every day
Like I'm missing you today

Driving through the night
I'm getting nowhere
But if I can
I'll get to you again
Radio fades away
Into the distance
But in the quiet
I see your face

One by one I remember
Every time you smiled
Every time you laughed
Every time you cried
There's not enough numbers
In the world I'd need to
Count the ways
I miss you every day
Like I'm missing you today
I miss you every day
Like I'm missing you today
