“Falling Asleep At The Wheel” is a song about how someone’s feelings in a relationship can build up and destroy the relationship and/or the person themselves. It talks about insecurities and worries with a partner, trying to convince themselves that this is okay and that they can still make it work,...
[Verse 1]
Oh, you never smoked this much before we met
Light up, light up another cigarette
I can tell you're drinking only to forget
Don't know how I got you in such a mess
[Pre-Chorus]
How am I supposed to be your ray of light, your ray of light?
I get dark sometimes, does it pass you by?
I should be your ray of light, your ray of light
[Chorus]
But I'm falling, falling asleep at the wheel
Guess I forgot how to feel
Just for a second, you're talking
But I'm just pretending you have my attention
I'm falling, falling asleep at the wheel
I made you think it was real
If you think we're strong enough
Come on and wake me up
[Verse 2]
You never looked this tense before we met
Back up, back when we were so innocent
All this emotion that we're buried in
Tied up, fired up on this adrenaline
[Pre-Chorus]
How am I supposed to be your ray of light, your ray of light?
Not a cloud in sight, what a perfect night
I should be your ray of light, your ray of light
But that's not me
[Chorus]
And I'm falling, falling asleep at the wheel
Guess I forgot how to feel
Just for a second, you're talking
But I'm just pretending you have my attention
I'm falling, falling asleep at the wheel
I made you think it was real
If you think we're strong enough
Come on and wake me up, wake me up
Come on and wake me up, come on and wake me up
If you think we're strong enough, wake me up
[Chorus]
And I'm falling, falling asleep at the wheel
Guess I forgot how to feel
Just for a second, you're talking
But I'm just pretending you have my attention
I'm falling, falling asleep at the wheel
I made you think it was real
If you think we're strong enough
Come on and wake me up, wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up
If you think we're strong enough
Come on and wake me up, wake me up, wake me up

Speaking to Clash in March 2020, Holly said:
The track is about losing momentum and feeling like your emotions will slowly destroy the relationship you’re in and you altogether. I think the dark, wonky sonics define who I am musically, which is why ‘Falling Asleep At The Wheel’ is such a milestone...
When I wrote this, I was going through something—a dead-end relationship that was just slowly fizzling out, a bit like when you’re feeling asleep. But despite what it’s about, this song was really fun to make. I wrote it in Nottingham with [UK producer] Rob Milton, who was one of the first people I...
Not yet. In a March 2021 interview with i-D, Holly confessed that she’s very anxious and naturally so terrible at driving that she has failed her driving test mutiple times:
It’s just too much responsibility for me […] I failed again around the time we shot the video for my song ‘Drop Dead’, and s...
