about

Drive you Home is a song about a relationship that’s on its last legs and plays out over a firework display whilst you internalise how much you’ve grown apart over the years. I pretty much wrote the whole song around the lyric ‘I will drive you out your mind and then I’ll drive you home’. It always felt like a duet to me so we got Lizzie Reid on board and she just took it to a whole new place.

lyrics

The streets lights are on, a November sky
Where you see your breath, but can’t see a way out

We watched the fire and the fireworks
But all I can think is the ambulances at work

and maybe it’s too late this time, you’d rather be alone
‘cause I will drive you out your mind and then I’ll drive you home

We walked through the streets to get to the car
and you crack a line about how it’s too far
The distance we’ve come, could it be done?
My nerves are shot, I guess that you’re holding the gun

I watch you try avoid my eyes and stare into your phone
‘cause I will drive you out your mind and then I’ll drive you home

And as the fire slowly dies we’re into the unknown
‘cause I will drive you out your mind and then I’ll drive you home
