Love, keep your eyes on the road
Cause when I stare all I see is two foggy windows to a lost soul
And maybe, maybe it’s all my fault
that it’s so quiet on the drive home
Babe, can I build my home in your mind?
A disheveled maze, constellated and intertwined
But somehow, my favorite kind
And my favorite view
when it untangles in the moonlight
Darling, we’re getting older
In less than eight months, you’ll wash tear stains off of your shoulder
And drenched in alcohol and conceit,
the cold-blooded bodies, quick on their feet
will tell you how to earn your stripes
And you’ll be listening while
I sit here with glistening eyes
As the stripes on my back chip and dry
You won’t be listening to my cries
Anymore
Oooh
Oooh
And we’ll be two pieces of driftwood
Floating in a sea of missed calls and excuses
And your home will change into four walls and a mini fridge
Instead of four limbs and lips to kiss
But for now, the night is young
And you are here and Snow Patrol just came on the radio
So darling, let’s take
Darling, let’s take the long way home
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Love, keep your eyes on the road

this song feels like a love that you haven't gotten fully settled into yet you can see the end of it in the rearview mirror
💔
man this hurt

Idk how correct my interpretation is, but for me this song is about sensing the end of a relationship while still being in love with one's partner. She began the song with the absolutely amazing lines describing how much she is still in love with her partner but there is this tension/awkwardness between them. She thinks that this tension is her fault. Afterwards, she talks about how in eight months after their eventual breakup, her partner will forget her(signified by them wiping her tears of their shoulders, no longer giving much thoughts about her. or it could be his own tears, i'm not sure). However, they will cope with this loss with alcohol and surrounding himself with cold and opportunistic people which will in turn, change them. She will grief this loss, but eventually heal (stripes that chip and dry for me symbolises scars that dry up and heal), as much as she misses them ("you won't be listening to my cries anymore"). She also adds that after their eventual end, they will become lost. They will lose their comfort places and drift through this world, lost and alone. She goes back to the present, in which they are driving home and snow patrol is playing on the radio. She asks them to take the long way, signifying that she wants to enjoy this quiet moment while they are still together, as long as it may be.
(now that i've thought about it, this song can also be interpreted as someone who is anxious about a relationship ending)
"And your home will change into four walls and a mini-fridge instead of four limbs and a lips to kiss" is sophisticatedly written.
😢 so sad
while i love that we got an official release of OTDH, i'll forever miss the "dear, do you hear what I hear? the crackle of fear in the atmosphere" lyric in the original version.
I was waiting for the “dear”😭
Where can i listen to the original?
@@gauthamlal you can search it on CZcams: "On the Drive Home - Nicole Zefanya" im pretty sure you'll find it
@@inklove_ thanks
This song is the perfect song to clear your mind, or the right song when you are going for a quiet and peaceful night stroll. You know, just keeping your eyes on the road and cherishing every moment on the drive home.
sometimes songs have a way of finding you, like they know when you need them most. this song showed up at a time when i was feeling extremely lonely because this guy i liked didn't like me enough to be with me. and this song reminds me of what we did a lot together... drive around the city. it's a shame that we never got anywhere even though all we did was drive and talk. i guess even when we reached our destination, at the end of the day all we did was drive in circles.
joji: test drive
brian: drive safe
niki: on the drive home.

OMG I REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS SONG ALL THE TIME IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WHEN SHE WAS POSTING COVERS!! THE NOSTALGIA ❤️❤️
I think this song is about the girl's overthinking. The way she notices the blank space between them or confusion of the relationship or the lost connection to her lover, would end up them in a sad and lonely situation. The thoughts and scenarios that would happen if they drift away as two people not intertwined. But in the end, she knew that it was all her thoughts running inside her mind. "keep your eyes on the road" which means to me, "keep your self focused on us together as long as we can"
Overthinkers can't help but to relate with the composition of the lyrics. It is such a sad song to sing.
ALREADY MY FAVORITE TRACK ON THIS ALBUM. NIKI, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND WE’RE ETERNALLY THANKFUL FOR THIS NEW MASTERPIECES OF YOURS 😭❤️
NIKIIII inget bgt dulu aku gamau org lain tau lagu ini karna terlalu bagus, you were my little secret back then🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻😭😭😭😭😭💕💕💕
No, you don't understand - he's not just crying, his eyes ARE TWO FOGGY WINDOWS TO A LOST SOUL!!!
OMG how beautiful
On the drive home, I'll treasure you in my mind, heart and liver
Love, keep your eyes on the road
'Cause when I stare all I see
Is two foggy windows to a lost soul
And maybe, maybe it's all my fault
That it's so quiet on the drive home
Babe, can I build my home in your mind?
A disheveled maze, constellated and intertwined
But somehow, my favorite kind
And my favorite view
When it untangles in the moonlight
Darlin', we're getting older
In less than 8 months
You'll wash tear stains off of your shoulder
And drenched in alcohol and conceit
The cold-bloodеd bodies quick on their feet
Will tell you how to еarn your stripes
And you'll be listening while
I sit here with glistening eyes
As the stripes on my back chip and dry
You won't be listening to my cries
Anymore
Ooh-Oh! Ooh!
Ooh-Oh! Ooh!
And we'll be 2 pieces of driftwood
Floating in a sea of missed calls and excuses
And your home will change into four walls and a mini fridge
Instead of 4 limbs and lips to kiss
But for now, the night is young
And you are here and Snow Patrol just came on the radio
So, darling, let's take
Darling, let's take the long way home
Ooh-Oh! Ooh!
Ooh-Oh! Ooh!
Ooh-Oh! Ooh!
you just want to be a permanent remnant in someone's memory sometimes its a problem when it comes to time intervals
therefore, you wish for the time to pause and look into his eyes and enjoy every bits of it with him.
This is so accurate with the song. You just wish for yourself to have permanence in a person's mind since you are now ending the chapter with them.
Last Kiss (Taylor’s Version) and this song really click together.
Nicole and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) are both my favorite SELF-WRITTEN albums.
omg TASTE!!! I also have these two songs on the top of my playlist lately. always leaves you with a solitary and empty feeling after the song ends. both singers are very genius lyricists as well!🧡
I wish i knew you sooner niki so i could share sentiment on how nostalgic this one sounds. This is my favorite. The guitar in the background is warming, calming, but also sad. There's sadness in this whole album and im okay with that. Sad is my middle name after all.
I can’t quite tell how this feels. It’s sad but at the same time beautiful.
it's really hard to choose the best out of the best
i wouldn’t mind niki talking to me every single day. i will whole heartedly willingly listen until all words are messed up..
The lyrics, the melodies, the vocals, the raw emotions wrapped in each word 😍 Beautiful, Niki!
this song means so much to me, i finally can feel that nostalgic feeling once again, love u Niki, always!
not me listening this while driving home after a long and rainy day in the middle of the night, it's too perfect
cant believe i haven't heard this the first time it was released 😭😭 but still so grateful for niki's sophomore album ♡♡♡
I want this album to play in the background of my life.
Sitting on the beach right now, enjoying the sun sinking and so beautiful, Thank you, Niki for this beautiful song ♡

NIKI is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for her one day.
🔥
Finally, you upload this one again, the best one.
와우!멋진 보이스 음색
Wow, that's a great voice.
Got let go by who I would consider my first love. We went on one last drive together, said our good byes. That was the last good memory I had of her. This song reminds me a lot about that Thursday evening. Like Niki said, sometimes you conform to someone’s expectations just for not. This song is truly beautiful. It doesn’t sugar coat a goodbye. You feel the raw emotions Nicole went through writing this song.
This song is underrated!!
AKHIRNYAAAA YAWLA😭❤️🙏🏽

I falling deeper into this song while remembering him, my best friend become love for me. Iam confused because iam too scare to lost him if we ended up as more than friend but i also want to build a home inside his mind. "Maybe, maybe it's all my fault."
