3OH!3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can?t speak ? about the secrets that you wanna keep?
Take a turn at the wheel ? I wanna feel the air
Watch it burn like a comet through the atmosphere
Take a drag ? let it hang ? a could above your head
Hit the road never knowing what will be your bed
Smashin up your stereo ? oh no no?
If you go, I?m gonna go ? sneak out of my window?
Drive where no one?s been before?
Cause we can live in slow motion
I can?t sleep ? when this is in my heartbeat?
I?m building up steam ? to skip the places in between?
Jump around to the sound of your favorite song
Learn to swim without any of your clothes on
?No regrets? is what I say about the things we did
So jump off into the water underneath the bridge
Cause we?re the kids who can?t say no ? to losing all control
Smashin up your stereo ? oh no no?
If you go, I?m gonna go ? sneak out of my window?
Drive where no one?s been before?
