Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo

She works for the weekend
Mixtape of her favorite bands
Tearin' up the radio
Lost in the stereo's sound

She's trouble in a tank top
Pretty little time bomb, blowin' up
Take you down, living in the radio
Lost in the stereo's sound

She's dancing alone
I'm ready to go but she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
She's out of control, so beautiful
In stereo, lost in stereo

And I've been waiting for so long
But she'll never know
I'm losing hope 'cause she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo

Shake down on a Saturday
Sit back, gotta catch my breath
'Cause every time I see her
I know she's gonna take it back somehow

Tattoos and a switchblade attitude
Snakebite heart with a bubblegum smile
Sex in stereo, don't turn the radio dial

She's dancing alone
I'm ready to go but she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
She's out of control, so beautiful
In stereo, lost in stereo

And I've been waiting for so long
But she'll never know
I'm losing hope 'cause she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo

And I'm just like cellophane
'Cause she sees right through me
I know she's glitter and gold
And that's just the price I pay
When I don't even know her name
She's slipping away

She works for the weekend
Mixtape of her favorite bands
Tearin' up the radio
Lost in the stereo's sound

She's dancing alone
I'm ready to go but she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
She's out of control, so beautiful
In stereo, lost in stereo

And I've been waiting for so long
But she'll never know
I'm losing hope 'cause she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo

She's dancing alone
I'm ready to go but she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
She's out of control, so beautiful
In stereo, lost in stereo

And I've been waiting for so long
But she'll never know
I'm losing hope 'cause she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo

[Intro]
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo

[Verse 1]
She works for the weekend, mix-tape of her favorite bands
Tearing up the radio, lost in the stereo's sound
She's trouble in a tank-top, pretty little time-bomb
Blowin' up - take you down
Livin' in the radio, lost in the stereo's sound

[Chorus]
She's dancing alone, I'm ready to go but she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
She's out of control, so beautiful
In stereo, lost in stereo
And I've been waiting for so long but she'll never know
I'm losing hope 'cause she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo

[Verse 2]
Shake-down on a Saturday
Sit back, gotta catch my breath
'Cause every time I see her, know she's gonna take it back somehow
Tattoos and a switch-blade attitude
Snakebite heart with a bubble-gum smile
Sex in stereo, don't turn the radio dial

[Chorus]
She's dancing alone, I'm ready to go but she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
She's out of control, so beautiful
In stereo, lost in stereo
And I've been waiting for so long but she'll never know
I'm losing hope 'cause she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo

[Bridge]
And I'm just like cellophane
'Cause she sees right through me
I know she's glitter and gold
And that's just the price I pay
When I don't even know her name
She's slipping away

[Verse 3]
She works for the weekend, mix-tape of her favorite bands
Tearing up the radio, lost in the stereo's sound

[Chorus]
She's dancing alone, I'm ready to go but she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
She's out of control, so beautiful
In stereo, lost in stereo
And I've been waiting for so long but she'll never know
I'm losing hope 'cause she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
She's dancing alone, I'm ready to go but she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo
She's out of control, so beautiful
In stereo, lost in stereo
And I've been waiting for so long but she'll never know
I'm losing hope 'cause she's so
Lost in stereo, lost in stereo

Ok so I remember the best compliment I've ever received probably was when a guy who I never talk to sent me a link to this song. I'm always listening to music, and I only talk to certain people, them being my friends. So I've always got music, headphones on, radio on, whatever. And then one day a guy in my grade who never talked to me before ever sent me a link to this song in private message on Facebook and said, 'I feel like this describes you perfectly. And how I feel about you. You're always lost in music and never notice me." And I was like omg.
