Black jeans, white tees, black Converse
You know she gets it right
Blue hair, blue eyes, I saw her
I couldn't help it, I was like
"I wanna be, be, be in the game
I wanna know, know your middle name
'Cause right now you're killing the game"
Everybody's gonna go big tonight
In a couple hours we'll be like
Take my money, take my keys
Drive this car through the drive-thru, please
From the floor to the ceiling, robbing and stealing
Everybody in the place catch that feeling like
Ooo-oh, oo-ooh
Take my money
Late night, passed out in Tokyo
New York, LA, Chicago
She said her friends were at the show
Backstage, well, let them in
"They wanna be, be, be in the game
They wanna know, know what we gotta say
And in the front row, you're going insane
And in the back row you're killing the game"
Everybody's gonna go big tonight
In a couple hours we'll be like
Take my money, take my keys
Drive this car through the drive-thru please
From the floor to the ceiling, robbing and stealing
Everybody in the place catch that feeling like
Take my money, take my keys
Drive this car through the drive-thru please
From the floor to the ceiling, robbing and stealing
Everybody in the place, you can all
Take my money (hey) take my keys
Drive this car through the drive-thru please
From the floor to the ceiling, robbing and stealing
Everybody in the place catch that feeling like
Oo-ooh, oo-ooh
Take my money, take my money
I'm taking it
The lyrics of 5 Seconds of Summer's song Money talk about the experience of being drawn to someone who presents a captivating image. The singer describes the woman in black jeans, white tees, and black Converse shoes who has blue hair and blue eyes, and how he felt drawn towards her. He wants to know her middle name and be with her, yet recognizes that if they do, their relationship won't be the same. The lyrics suggest that this woman is a trendsetter and the envy of those around her, with everyone wanting to be a part of her world.
The chorus of the song talks about how in a few hours, everyone will be living life to the fullest, caught up in the moment. The lyrics revolve around living life to the fullest, even if it means taking risks and breaking the law to a degree. The singer says to take his money, take his keys, and that they will drive through the drive-thru, all while robbing and stealing.
The song's message is one of doing what you love, being proud of who you are, and enjoying life despite the consequences of your actions. It also deals with the allure of rebellion and living outside the boundaries of societal norms.
