lyrics

We left Grey Lynn at six-fifteen

Your hand on the gear, my bag on the seat

A paper cup rolling by your knee

And the wipers kept time on the front glass sheet

At Greenlane, you checked the lane

I watched your thumb tap the wheel once more

Your jacket smelled like rain on the train

And the backseat kept my coat from the floor

The radio low, just the news and tune

Your jaw relaxed in the blue dash glow

No need to fill up every room

We know this road, we can let it go

Quiet on the drive home

Quiet on the drive home

Quiet on the drive home

Quiet on the drive home

Past Ellerslie, the bins by the fence

A takeaway bag and a receipt in the door

You laughed at the dog on the footpath bent

Then the laugh went soft and we said no more

By Panmure Bridge, the tanks moved slow

Your fingers traced a crack in the wheel

I leaned to the window, watched houses go

And everything unspoken felt real

Quiet on the drive home

Quiet on the drive home

Quiet on the drive home

Quiet on the drive home

When the red lights held us at Mount Wellington way

You reached for my hand, then you let it stay

No speech, just the dash and the hum and the rain

And I knew right there I was safe in the same

Quiet on the drive home

Quiet on the drive home

Quiet on the drive home

Quiet on the drive home
