don't drive sleepy

Scoobert Doobert · I · 2024 · From I

Island-drive lull: zoning on the bay road, eyes open on sunshine: call your person awake, laugh, pull up home.

ISRC QZHN32444128 (soundexchange)

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.

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
