In recent years, I have spent an hour commuting to and from work every day.
After a while, a commute like that blends together day after day, and the drive becomes almost automatic in a way – it gives me a lot of time to think about a lot of things.
Often, I still think of Maddie a lot of those times. I often “talk to her” as if she is sitting in the passenger seat next to me.
She often “asks me” how much I think about her – and this is the song that fits.
I’ve always found the lyrics so clever – the voice talks about all the different times he thinks about the woman he loves – and then as the song nears the end, he realises:
“Well, I’m always thinking of you, it’s all that I can do…”
Perfect.
