[Verse 1]
I know that you're hurtin', I know you still care
I know his voicemails sound like a lullaby
I feel that you're hurtin', I know it's not fair
I know his words still ring like bells in the back of your head
[Pre-Chorus]
We could take a drive downtown to the Pacific Coast
We could work it all out, tell me where it hurts most
We could tie another knot between us and some hope
We could, we could, we could, we could
[Chorus]
Just drive, just drive, just drive tonight
Just drive, just drive, just drive tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
We could take a drive downtown to the Pacific Coast
We could work it all out, tell me wherе it hurts most
We could tie another knot bеtween us and some hope
We could, we could, we could, we could
[Chorus]
Just drive, just drive, just drive tonight
Just drive, just drive, just drive tonight
[Bridge]
I'm here for you when the world is falling down
I'll be with you when the world is falling down
Down, down, down
[Verse 2]
The violent voice is loud and deafening
Red lights, they burn us out like kerosene
The future's not so clear, I'll help you see
There's so much more to life than you and me
[Chorus]
Just drive, just drive, just drive tonight
Just drive, just drive, just drive tonight
Just drive, just drive, just drive tonight
Just drive, just drive, just drive tonight, tonight, tonight
[Outro]
You and me
You and me
You and me
You and me

I’m not gonna go super into depth, but this was a song for KayKay. At the time, her and I were experiencing loss, her in particular. From a lyrical standpoint, it’s a gentle song, but it speaks deeply about the simplicity of, when you’re in a loving relatio...
On an interview with Thomas Bleach, Ashton said:
My partner’s father passed away, and that was really horrible for us. So ‘Drive’ was a gentle song for her. I just didn’t really know how to deal with the grieving process as I hadn’t before. So to see it break her heart was honestly really devastati...
