The First Drive

Verse 1:
We hit the road with no plan in mind,
headlights cutting through the quiet night.
Your hand in mine, fingers intertwined,
soft music playing, the world felt right.
We spoke of life, of love, of fears,
laughter spilling over the rearview mirror.
I massaged your hand when it got tired,
listened to your stories, your dreams inspired.

Pre-Chorus:
We reminisced about the past,
planned a future that felt like it would last.
Every mile, every song, every sigh,
I thought this forever would never die.

Chorus:
All night drive, just you and me,
windows down, feeling so free.
We talked, we laughed, we held on tight,
dreaming of mornings that felt so right.
But six months later, it slipped away,
all that warmth and love couldn’t stay.

Verse 2:
We watched the sunrise over quiet streets,
shared secrets and every small defeat.
I traced your hand with gentle care,
feeling your heartbeat, wishing you were there.
The radio hummed our favorite songs,
I swore in that moment nothing felt wrong.
We imagined kids, a little home, our days,
and how we’d face the world in endless ways.

Pre-Chorus 2:
But time moves fast, and hearts can change,
plans and dreams can feel so strange.
I held onto you, thought we’d survive,
but love isn’t always enough to thrive.

Chorus:
All night drive, just you and me,
windows down, feeling so free.
We talked, we laughed, we held on tight,
dreaming of mornings that felt so right.
But six months later, it slipped away,
all that warmth and love couldn’t stay.

Bridge (soft, reflective):
I miss that night, the quiet roads,
the stories shared, the love we showed.
I wish I could go back, hold your hand,
tell you forever was my only plan.
Now I drive alone, music in my ears,
replaying the laughs, the dreams, the tears.

Chorus (reprise, bittersweet):
All night drive, just you and me,
windows down, feeling so free.
We talked, we laughed, we held on tight,
dreaming of mornings that felt so right.
But six months later, it slipped away,
all that warmth and love couldn’t stay.

Outro:
I’ll remember that night for all my life,
your hand in mine, free from strife.
Even though it ended, the memory survives,
an all-night drive that still fills my mind.
