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)
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 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.
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.
Hey NIKI.. Lagu ini nemenin gw jalan kaki dari kosan doi ke stasiun, pas abis berantem.. Trus lagu ini juga yg nemenin gw jalan kaki lagi dr stasiun ke kosan dia buat minta maaf walo ga d maafin.. Syukurnya doi tetep menuhin janji untuk traveling brg dan lagu ini juga yg nemenin kita selama taun baruan di bareng.. Meski ud ga deket banget, tp tetep masih kangen.. Semoga kmu sehat² disana 😊
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!
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 don't know how to emotionally process the fact that ALL OF THESE SONGS ARE HERE. THEY ARE BACK. THEY ARE HERE. oh my GOSH. i used to listen to these when i was like 9 or 10, in elementary school, on my iphone 4. these songs finally being back and being back for good in a finalized form is like a hug from my childhood self. i am so fragile rn guys someone hold me
my forever comfort song :') i love listening to this masterpiece especially at midnights when everything is quiet. thank you for this niki !! love u sm.
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.
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."
NIKI inspired me to go all in with my music because she was once just like me, an artist without many listeners. And now she's on top. I believe it will happen for me one day, I’m not stopping when it does!

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

"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 RUclips: "On the Drive Home - Nicole Zefanya" im pretty sure you'll find it
@@inklove_ thanks

No, you don't understand - he's not just crying, his eyes ARE TWO FOGGY WINDOWS TO A LOST SOUL!!!
OMG how beautiful
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.
Hey NIKI..
Lagu ini nemenin gw jalan kaki dari kosan doi ke stasiun, pas abis berantem..
Trus lagu ini juga yg nemenin gw jalan kaki lagi dr stasiun ke kosan dia buat minta maaf walo ga d maafin..
Syukurnya doi tetep menuhin janji untuk traveling brg dan lagu ini juga yg nemenin kita selama taun baruan di bareng..
Meski ud ga deket banget, tp tetep masih kangen..
Semoga kmu sehat² disana 😊
somebody have story behind this song ya..😢
OMG I REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS SONG ALL THE TIME IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WHEN SHE WAS POSTING COVERS!! THE NOSTALGIA ❤️❤️
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!
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 can’t quite tell how this feels. It’s sad but at the same time beautiful.
ALREADY MY FAVORITE TRACK ON THIS ALBUM. NIKI, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND WE’RE ETERNALLY THANKFUL FOR THIS NEW MASTERPIECES OF YOURS 😭❤️
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.

this song makes me feel so nostalgic for some reason, nostalgic over something I've never lived
It’s been 5 months and I’m still grieving…
Love, keep your eyes on the road
'Cause when I stare, all I see's 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 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
Ooh
Ooh
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 darlin', let's take
Darlin', let's take
The long way home
Ooh

Love, keep your eyes on the road
