“The Night I Drove Alone” describe the thoughts of a man after a severe break up.
In Verse 1, Mat says that he ran away from her, and that she was so special that he told secrets that he had never told before.
The chorus illustrates the drive home after the end, showing a deep sadness to the point...
[Verse 1]
I ran away from you, now look how far I've got
I shared some secrets that I hope you'd keep
They're words that don't come out
[Chorus]
And I should've crashed the car the night I drove alone
Escape from August cold, whoa
[Post-Chorus]
And you talk like someone else
[Verse 2]
I ran away from you, and now something's killing me
You hang me up as a souvenir of what I couldn't be
[Chorus]
And I should've crashed the car when I was all alone
Escape from all I know, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
[Post-Chorus]
And you talk like someone else
