The Limp Twins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
creeping in through a hole in the wall
I get a funny feeling
I should go outside
I can't stand to be
cooped up in doors
gonna get my car
come around to yours
And maybe I'll take baby
for a ride
It's been sometime
since I've been shut out
on the road
With the blue skies in front of me
I can let the past turn me round
Let's get ourselves lost
in the midsummer haze,
down the cool country lanes
that meander for days
and maybe I'll take baby
for a ride
and maybe
I'll take baby
for a ride.
Love is electrified
current creates motion
(and maybe
I'll take baby
for a ride)
Glamour of countryside
rolls like the ocean
(and maybe
I'll take baby
for a ride)
The Limp Twins' "Sunday Driver" is a song about the desire to escape from the mundane aspects of daily life and go on a joyride with a loved one. The lyrics describe the singer's urge to go outside and enjoy the sunlight after being cooped up indoors. He decides to take his car and go for a drive, perhaps to his lover's place, and maybe take her along for the ride.
Driving down the country lanes and losing themselves in the midsummer haze is a metaphor for two people getting lost in each other. The possibilities of the open road and the glamour of the countryside create a sense of adventure and excitement in the singer's mind. He feels a sense of liberation as he drives towards the blue skies, leaving the past behind.
The song's lyrics are poignant in their simplicity and convey a sense of carefree freedom that many people can relate to. The Limp Twins' soulful vocals, backed by a jazzy melody, create a dreamy atmosphere that adds to the song's overall mood.
