Notes

Grace recorded this song while she was in L.A. doing the "Repeat" music video. It was made public (as a video-entry) at an Interlochen music event in March 2021.

At her second public performance of the song, at The Elsewhere venue in Brooklyn on September 26 2023, she gave a little bit of back story: "I wrote this for my sister, thinking back to when in high school your friend has a license for the first time. Driving around in the night. It was so fun and so healing. There aren't that many pure experiences like that in adulthood."

Lyrics

Foggy nights at the corner store
Pavements shining from the lights on the door
I dont know who I am no more
Could you pull up and pick me up from the cold
Cause I've been thinking 'bout in october
But that one Tuesday night
And it's stupid that I'm calling at this time
But I cant get all this shit out of my mind
I guess I'm thinking what I dont even really know
I guess I'm asking if you got nothing tonight
Could you save me, save me with a drive

I'm sure you werent expecting this call
It's been a month since you've heard from me at all
Is this entirely pathetic of me
Sitting here missing what we used to be
And I'm just thinking 'bout in october
But that one Tuesday night
And it's stupid that I'm calling at this time
But I cant get all this shit out of my mind
I guess I'm thinking what I dont even really know
I guess I'm asking if you got nothing tonight
Could you save me, save me with a drive

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh
