Six Hour Drive

July For Kings

I said I've been thinkin' about Memphis
I know you don't like Catfish
We could learn about Elvis
Sit back and see the nines roll over
200,000 miles to show for
This old car
This guitar
And this new summer

Come on, come on

Chorus:
We'll make a six hour drive through Tennessee
I don't believe the car survived
Did it understand my master plan
To have you next to me
If only temporarily
No work, or place to be
Just one last six hour drive

We left about three o'clock Friday
It started getting cooler when night came
Along the Appalation highway
It start raining with the windows stuck down
Sit back and laugh until the next town
Your eyes look nice against the greener ground

Yeah
Come on, come on

Repeat Chorus

Yeah, oh
We'll make one last
One last
One last
Six hour drive through Tennessee
I don't believe the car survived
Did it understand my master plan

Repeat Chorus

We'll make one last
Six hour drive
One last
Six hour drive

    I think the song is about life. And getting one more adventure out of it.

    The car is his life. And he feels he at times doesnt have control over his life. (did it understand my master plan)

    His life is all about adventure

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
