The Exit
A Kiss Could Be Deadly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I plan on staying ‘til we can lose all of our friends
And slip away
Unnoticed out the back door
So lets go, you know it’s the exit we’ve been waiting for
Now we can’t stop
And I think I like it (like it)
And I don’t want to fight it (fight it)
Because you know we can’t stop
Even if we wanted (wanted)
We could take it all off
And finish what we started, started on your balcony
We’ve made excuses for the last two weeks
But we’ll leave those at the bar with our unattended drinks
And slip away
Determined to lose them all
And Get home, alone, minutes before our curtain call
Now we can’t stop
And I think I like it (like it)
We could take it all off
And I don’t want to fight it (fight it)
Because you know we can’t stop
Even if we wanted (wanted)
We could take it all off
And finish what we started, started on your balcony
Another helpless moment
It’s all I have just to breathe again
Now we can’t stop
The lyrics of A Kiss Could Be Deadly's song The Exit describe two people who plan to leave a party unnoticed through the back door. They want to be alone and escape the company of their friends. The lyrics suggest that the two people are willing to give in to their physical desires and they cannot be stopped, even if they wanted to. The chorus repeats the phrase "Now we can't stop, and I think I like it," which highlights the sense of liberation and abandonment that the two people feel. They are determined to finish what they started on the balcony, despite making excuses for the last two weeks.
The lyrics are fairly straightforward and paint a picture of two people who have a desire to escape and be alone. They are unable to resist their attraction to each other and are willing to risk leaving the party as quietly as possible. The song's title "The Exit" refers to the escape the two people are hoping to achieve. The song speaks to the idea of living life to the fullest and not wanting to miss out on opportunities that present themselves.
