Let’s Get Lost
Carly Rae Jepsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put my trust in someone else completely
And I was always one to want to
Up and run when someone said they needed me
But you
You could be the one
You could be the one
Baby, let's go get lost
I like the way you're drivin' slow
Keeping my fingers crossed
That maybe you'll take the long way home
Let's get lost
I don't wanna let you go
Keeping my fingers crossed
That maybe you'll take the long way home, uh, uh, uh, uh
Baby, let's take the long way home
I was always shy and careful
I was sure that you would never look at me
Never wanted to discourage
Everything your eyes encouraged silently
But you
You could be the one
You could be the one
Oh baby, let's go get lost
I like the way you're drivin' slow
Keeping my fingers crossed
That maybe you'll take the long way home
Let's get lost
I don't wanna let you go
Keeping my fingers crossed
That maybe you'll take the long way home, uh, uh, uh, uh
Baby, let's take the long way home, uh, uh, uh, uh
Baby, let's take the long way home
Let's get lost (let's get lost)
You wanna get lost? (you wanna get lost?)
Let's get lost (let's get lost)
I wanna get lost
Oh baby let's go get lost
I like the way you're drivin' slow
Keeping my fingers crossed
That maybe you'll take the long way home
Let's get lost
I don't wanna let you go
Keeping my fingers crossed
That maybe you'll take the long way home, uh, uh, uh, uh
Baby let's take the long way home, uh, uh, uh, uh
Baby let's take the long way home
The first verse of Carly Rae Jepsen's Let's Get Lost appears to be about the singer's trust issues and hesitation towards commitment. She admits to being someone who dislikes giving their full trust to others and has always had the urge to run away when someone confesses their need for her. However, in the chorus, she shifts her tone as she sings about wanting to get lost with someone slowly, showing an openness to explore something greater than herself.
In the second verse, she mentions her shyness and likely a low self-esteem as she was never one to believe that someone as incredible as the person she's talking about would ever be interested in her. However, the chorus repeats the desire to get lost with this person, indicating a newfound feeling of hopefulness and anticipation towards this relationship.
Overall, Let's Get Lost appears to be about the singer's hesitations and how she found someone who makes her feel less conflicted. The song reflects the excitement that can come with getting lost in a new relationship and the desire to take things slowly while enjoying the journey.
