I've listened to the song and watched the video quite a few times. So, I think that this song is about moving on from an ex-boyfriend/girlfriend who has passed away, maybe unexpectedly. Lana sings that she's sad he/she died, but she is trying to move on, even though she will always miss him/her. Kinda like the Power of Goodbye by Madonna. She tries to kiss goodbye the summertime sadness that his/her death brought her.
I think the "drive" part could be about moving on, but also, like Lahhva said, could be about reminiscing on their time together and celebrate their past relationship. Have no regrets and only remember the best.
The video is interesting, because it is quite literal to the song, except that the roles are reversed and the ending is not so positive. Lana (I'll use the actors' names) is the one dying by committing suicide. Jaime King is wearing the red dress and drives a car with her bad baby (i.e. Lana) on her heavenly side. However, unlike in the song, Jaime fails to move on and commits suicide.
Finally, I find it interesting that the girls don't end up together in heaven. I think it means that the relationship was passionate love - that is, it was a summer love more than anything. It was not going to last a lifetime anyway. In short, they were not soul mates, but they had fun for a short period of time. In the song, Lana embraces that part of her life before embarking on another chapter.
Anyway, that's my interpretation. Great song and video!
