Your Car
Alexx Mack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The kind that makes your heart race
The kind that makes your heart break
I just want you to stay
I can feel you runnin'
'Cuz you know we're onto somethin'
Still, you tell me you feel nothin'
You said it was magic
But it sounded so tragic
We were meant to be tragic
Can we drive in your car?
Runnin' reds and hangin' on
Let's get high in your car
Can you tell me what we are?
Can we drive
I was just a conquest
A girl who loved the loudest
And when you saw me undress
You asked me to stay
You said it was magic
But it sounded so tragic
We were meant to be tragic
Can we drive in your car?
Runnin' reds and hangin' on
Let's get high in your car
Can you tell me what we are?
Can we drive (you don't want to)
Can we drive (you don't want to)
Can we drive (you don't want to)
(You don't want to)
You said it was magic
But it sounded so tragic
We were meant to be tragic
Can we drive in your car?
Runnin' reds and hangin' on
Let's get high in your car
Can you tell me what we are?
Can we drive (you don't want to)
Can we drive (you don't want to)
Can we drive (you don't want to)
(You don't want to)
The lyrics of Alexx Mack's Your Car appear to be about a tumultuous relationship that is both exhilarating and painful. The song opens with the singer describing a new, intense feeling that is both exciting and terrifying. She expresses a desire for the other person to stay, suggesting that she may be more invested in the relationship than they are. The second verse reveals that the other person is reluctant to commit, despite the strong feelings between them. The line "You just wanna push me away" suggests that there may be a fear of intimacy or vulnerability involved.
The chorus of the song features a repeated question about whether they can drive in the other person's car. The image of driving together is a metaphor for the relationship - they are taking risks, breaking rules (running red lights), and perhaps even getting high together. However, the repetition of "you don't want to" at the end of the song suggests that the other person may be more ambivalent than the singer about whether this kind of risky behavior is what they truly want.
Overall, Your Car seems to be a story about the thrill and pain of a relationship that is both passionate and complicated. The lyrics suggest that the two people involved are unsure about whether they want to fully commit to each other or continue chasing the high of their intense connection.
