“Driver” serves as Billy Raffoul’s debut single, inspired by his family picking up a hitchhiker one night after playing a gig. The following weekend Raffoul told his story to co-writers Simon Wilcox and Nolan Lambroza during a writing session:
We turned it into something a little more sentimental,...
[Verse 1]
I feel like I'm floating, I'm out on the ocean
I'm lost on the road somewhere
Darlin' don't wait up I'm counting on my luck
I hope it can get me there
Keys in my pocket I don't mind the walkin'
But you feel so far away
The bus fare, I had it
But I got bad habits that don't get me far these days
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wish I was the driver
But I'm always the hitchhiker
I want to be there for you even though you don't need me to, no
I wish I was the driver, driver
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
In bed with your eyes shut
You're holding the sky up
You're trying to keep control
You started from nothing
But it's good to want things when you're out here in the cold
Yeah
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wish I was the driver
But I'm always the hitchhiker
I want to be there for you even though you don't need me to, no
I wish I was the driver, driver
Oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
I tried to be someone
Your boat in your ocean
I'm lost on the road somewhere
Darlin' don't wait up
I'm counting on my luck I hope it can get me there
[Chorus]
Oh, oh
I wish I was the driver, oh
I wish I was the driver, driver, oh
I wish I was is the driver, oh
I wish I was the driver, driver, oh
Oh, I wish I was the driver, oh
