Driving home
Words and music: Thomas Channell

I was driving home to you after the show, I couldn’t wait to see you again
I was writing you an sms to say I’ll be there soon, I’m sorry I’m late again, late again

It was raining hard, my wipers hardly working, the music winding me down
I heard a crash, I saw a face and blood and then another standing witness to this and I just drove, I just drove, I just...had a drink or two

Time is of the essence
Time is running away with
Time is of the essence
Time is running away with time, my wrist, my head, my heart, my love, my life, my joys, my fears, my tears and all this time I think of you and me

When will they find me
Knock on our door and say
Your time has come for taking another man’s time

Time is of the essence
Time is running away with
Time is of the essence
Time is running away with time, his wrist, his head, his heart, his love, his life, his joys, his fears, his tears and all this time I think of you and me

I said “Honey, I just killed someone
Coming home to you, driving on the N1”

Time is of the essence
Time is running away with
Time is of the essence
Time is running away with
Time is running away with
Time is running away with
Time is running away with
