Rollercoaster Girl
Digger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saw you in line for the big, yellow coaster. I wish I was standing next to you. Maybe we could get some cotton candy. Maybe we could get a candy apple, too. Follow you around the park; from light until it's dark. Sorry you got so sick on the Tilt-A-Whirl. Maybe we could kiss on the yellow coaster, and you would follow me to The Journey to the Center of the Earth. This park's so big. We only got one day. Tonight you'll get on that bus, and drive away. Let me buy you some cotton candy. It's too bad that you live in New Jersey. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Digger's song Rollercoaster Girl are about a boy who sees a girl in line for a rollercoaster and wishes he could stand next to her. He imagines spending time with her at the amusement park, eating cotton candy and candy apples together. The boy follows the girl around the park from light until it's dark. He apologizes for the girl getting sick on a ride they went on together, but suggests they could kiss on the yellow coaster and then go on another ride called The Journey to the Center of the Earth. However, he also acknowledges that they only have one day at the park and the girl will have to leave later that night. The boy offers to buy her some cotton candy, but realizes it's too bad she lives in New Jersey.


The song captures the excitement and anticipation of young love, as well as the disappointment of not being able to spend more time with someone you've just met. The amusement park setting is a perfect backdrop for the song, as it represents a place of temporary escape and fun, where anything can happen. The rollercoaster, in particular, serves as a metaphor for the ups and downs of love and the thrill of taking risks.
