Top Down
BROWN & GRAY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I stayed for the summer
Shot down, burnt out
This is living
Got you confused with another girl
But you’re a gun set to stunner
Reach to the stars
We’ll be driving with the top down, top down tonight
We’ll find our way to the summer
Top down, top down tonight
We’ll find our way to the summer
We’ll find our way to the summer
We’ll find our way to the summer
Sunk down the sea ’til I found a pearl
And I swam like a runner
Shot down, burnt out
This is living
Got myself down but I took a turn
Now I know what I’m needing
Reach to the stars
When we’re winning
We’ll be driving with the top down, top down tonight
We’ll find our way to the summer
Top down, top down tonight
We’ll find our way to the summer
We’ll find our way to the summer
We’ll find our way to the summer
We’ll be driving with the top down, top down tonight
We’ll find our way to the summer
Top down, top down tonight
We’ll find our way to the summer
We’ll find our way to the summer
We’ll find our way to the summer
In BROWN & GRAY's song Top Down, the lyrics talk about chasing a dream or a feeling down to another world, which is where the singer decides to stay for the summer.

I chased my tail down to another world
I went on a wild goose chase to another world
So I stayed for the summer
I decided to stay for the summer
Shot down, burnt out
I'm exhausted and defeated
This is living
This is what life is like
Got you confused with another girl
Mistakenly thought you were someone else
But you’re a gun set to stunner
You are stunning
Reach to the stars
Aspire for greatness
When we’re winning
When things are going well
We’ll find our way to the summer
We will make it to summer
Sunk down the sea ’til I found a pearl
I searched until I found something valuable
And I swam like a runner
I swam fast
Got myself down but I took a turn
I hit rock bottom but things turned around
Now I know what I’m needing
I now know what I want
We’ll be driving with the top down, top down tonight
We'll be cruising with the top down tonight
We’ll find our way to the summer
We will make it to summer
