Description

It's as if the night dragged on and the conversation never happened. The air is thick with unspoken words, the windows are fogged up, and something quiet and slow is playing on the speakers, matching the mood, which is no longer sadness, but not yet indifference. I just want to go home. Not in the sense of“where I live,” but to a place where I feel safe. Where you don't have to prove yourself, explain yourself, hold back tears or your breath. In this track, the city is not a backdrop, but a co-author. The moto rw a y w i nd s like t h ou g hts af t er a qua r r el. T r aff i c l ight s f l ash i n time with h u rt f e el i ngs. E v eryth i n g s e em s to be s tand i ng sti l l, b u t insi d e it ' s as i f a n ea r thqu a ke ha s passed. Som e are si l e nt, some are w ai t ing for the o th e r to apol o gi z e first. And i n t his silent j ou r n e y is th e entire h i st o ry of t he rel a ti o nship, fro m the first message to the last turn. A very quiet, very powerful song. One of those that don't sound loud but stay with you for a long time.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Oh this motorway weaves itself under me
the city’s harder to leave now that we’ve grown close
the sky that once was so endless sits closer than ever
thought it’d swallow me up instead its holding me close
I made a compromise for a quieter life, for a happier mind
instead I’m just feeling old
How this motorway weaves itself under me
when all the gaps in the trees
engrave themselves to me
can you please drive me
Home, home, home, home
I’m just stuck in my body at somebody’s party
I’m looking around for someone who I know
I know that you’re sorry, just say that you’re sorry
admit that it hurt me then we can go home
Home, home, home, home
it’s getting harder to breathe now that we’ve grown close
I know that you’re sorry, just say that you’re sorry
it’s starting hurt me and we need to go home
Home, home, home, home
the city’s gone to sleep, you won’t talk to me
everything I’ve ever known always with his back to me
everything we wanted, everything we worked for
scattered on the highway, throw it out the car door
try to prove I’m honest, something good to offer
but your mum thinks I’m nothing, low life and a problem
lock me into me into your life, shut me out of your heart
trap me in future I was never built for
I’m getting ready to leave, I think I’m ready to go
you’re starting to draw in, I’m starting to close
know all the gaps in the trees
engrave themselves to me
can you please drive me
