“Drive Away” takes a deep dive into the mind of someone who is in the midst of a failing relationship, presumably one-sided. Chloe pin-points the exact moment she realized it was time to cut ties with a person that was no longer making her a better version of herself, but gosh dang, if that isn't a hard thing to do when you think you love somebody. It’s a whole lot easier to wait around in hopes that the other party walks away first… and that’s exactly what she did. For a little while at least.

Listeners are left with insight about the teeter-totter of emotions running through Chloe’s head when the chorus hits, flashbacks to better times during the bridge, and with standout lyric “I’d smile as I watched you drive away,” they can begin to understand just how much easier that perfectly-painted scene might be to endure as opposed to breaking off the relationship herself.
