Top Down
BROWN & GRAY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I chased my tail down to another world
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
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

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

Line by Line Meaning

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
