Put Me On
Diamond Rings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Between the pigeons, and the northern loons
Crossing the river to the valley's side
Driving together in your fathers ride
Come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on
Roll down the window and let down your hair
Turn up the music in the cool night air
The engines revving through the heart beat glass
And all I wanna do is make it last
Come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on,
Hold me in arms until I'm blacker than blue
And if you wanna lay down, I'll lay down next to you
I can take you places you thought you never knew
Baby, we can will this dream into coming true
It's for you
No matter what I'll try the best I can
And because of you, I am who I am
So take my hand and get behind the wheel
And let me give you everything I feel
Come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on,
Hold me in your arms until I'm blacker than blue
And if you wanna lay down, I'll lay down next to you
And I can take you places you thought you never knew
Baby, we can will this dream into coming true
It's for you
Come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on, put me on come on
Put me on

Beneath the sliver of the autumn moon
Under the light of the autumn moon
Between the pigeons, and the northern loons
Amidst the birds flying by
Crossing the river to the valley's side
Traveling from one side of the valley to the other
Driving together in your fathers ride
Riding in the car of someone's father
Come on
Encouragement to continue on the journey
Put me on, put me on come on
Asking to be included and given a chance to be a part of the adventure
Roll down the window and let down your hair
Lowering the car window and letting hair fly freely in the wind
Turn up the music in the cool night air
Increasing the volume of the music in the chilly night breeze
The engines revving through the heart beat glass
Hearing the sound of the car engines through the windshield
And all I wanna do is make it last
Hoping to prolong the moment and make it memorable
Hold me in arms until I'm blacker than blue
Holding tight until the point of exhaustion or injury
And if you wanna lay down, I'll lay down next to you
Offering to cuddle or be close while resting
I can take you places you thought you never knew
Exploring new experiences and showing someone the unknown
Baby, we can will this dream into coming true
Possibility of making a shared dream a reality
It's for you
The focus of the adventure and experiences is the listener
No matter what I'll try the best I can
Promising to give all efforts and dedication
And because of you, I am who I am
Acknowledging the listener's impact on the artist's identity
So take my hand and get behind the wheel
Requesting the listener's assistance in leading the way
And let me give you everything I feel
Willingness to share emotions and personal experiences
