A cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s 2021 smash hit “drivers license” recorded for triple j’s Like A Version series. The band infuses the piano ballad with their trademark pop-punk sound (“putting the Middle Kids blueprint over it”, as lead vocalist Hannah Joy puts it in the behind-the-scenes video), highlig...
[Verse 1]
Got my driver's license last week
Just like we always talked about
You were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house
But today I drove through the suburbs
Crying 'cause you're not around
[Verse 2]
You're probably with that blonde girl
Who always made me doubt
She's so much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about
But today I drove through the suburbs
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?
[Chorus]
I know we weren't pеrfect but I've nevеr 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
[Verse 3]
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
But today I drove through the suburbs
Pictured I was driving home to you
[Chorus]
I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one, oh
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
[Bridge]
Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
Can't drive past the places that we used to go to
'Cause I still fuckin' love you, babe
And 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
'Cause I still fuckin' love you, babe, yeah
[Chorus]
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—
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
