Halsey - Drive
My hands wrapped around the stick shift
Swerving on the 405, I can never keep my eyes
Off this
My neck, the feeling of your soft lips
Illuminated in the light, bouncing off the exit signs
I missed
All we do is drive
All we do is think about the feelings that we hide
All we do is sit in silence waiting for a sign
Sick and full of pride
All we do is drive
And California never felt like home to me
And California never felt like home
And California never felt like home to me
Until I had you on the open road and now we're singing
Your laugh, echoes down the hallway
Carves into my hollow chest, spreads over the emptiness
It's bliss
It's so simple but we can't stay
Overanalyze again, would it really kill you if we kissed?
All we do is drive
All we do is think about the feelings that we hide
All we do is sit in silence waiting for a sign
Sick and full of pride
All we do is drive
And California never felt like home to me
And California never felt like home
And California never felt like home to me
Until I had you on the open road and I was singing
“Drive” touches on a love that lives within boundaries. The lovers keep their relationship distinct—careful not to make the first move, yet inevitably enjoying each other’s presence and silently yearning for more. Halsey told Popjustice that this was the first happy song she ever wrote: It’s a sweet song, it’s about being in a relationship, being in love with someone and not knowing how to tell them. […] It’s so ironic that it’s called ‘Drive’ because it symbolizes this departure from the Badlands—this point where I drive away. I leave. Halsey described this song as “the music baby of me and Timmy the Terror aka the mastermind behind “Hurricane” […] sad vibey heat.” “Drive” became available through iTunes at midnight exactly a week before the release of Badlands on August 21st, 2015. The demo version was included in the deluxe box set as a 7" record.
