Lyrics
Driving all around my island Everyday I'm driving Cruising by the bay My lighthouse shining on the water Misty little morning Will you light my way? I'm zoning zoning out Yeah, I'm drifting I'm drifting all about, ooo Driving, sun is always shining Trying to keep my eyes wide open on the road Put on my glasses Cozy as molasses Calling up my baby Love me back awake I'm laughing You pick me up And we're laughing And soon I'm pulling up Home to you
Content
Track seven on I, the drowsy-drive song that's also a love song. The title is the PSA, the verses are the confession: island loop, lighthouse on the water, the slide into zoning zoning out. The danger is comfort itself, cozy as molasses. The fix isn't caffeine, it's calling up my baby to love me back awake, a partner's voice as stimulant. The outro is the arrival it buys: laughing, soon I'm pulling up / home to you.
On an album built from train rides, hikes, and coastal motion, this is the small-circle version: island loop, partner on the phone, home as endpoint. Pairs with omw as the I travel-love spine.
