Au Volant
Elsa & Emilie Lyrics

You were the bad boys in the crowd
Referring to the boys who were known to get into trouble and mischief among the group of people they hung out with

Wanting out, wanting out
The boys had the desire to leave their current situation or surroundings

You were the ones in the driver's seat
The boys were in control of the situation and leading others

Now please repeat, please repeat
Asking the boys to confirm or reiterate their statements or actions

I got my mind set on the sunny place
Having a predetermined goal or objective in mind that's associated with happiness and positivity

Where we can rest our case
Reaching a point where no further explanation or justification is needed because the goal has been achieved

I got my mind set on the sunset
Referring to the end of a chapter or phase in life, bringing closure to something and looking towards new beginnings

Where we can go and push reset
Having the opportunity to start fresh and start over in a new beginning

And call it home
Creating a safe and secure environment that feels like home, regardless of location

Who do you think got me this far
Acknowledging someone or something that has helped to get to the point reached thus far

I'm sky high
Feeling ecstatic or extremely happy and grateful

And all the pretty lights, we pass them by
Being too focused on the goal or destination to be mindful of the smaller things that are happening around them

There's no limit line, but time
Highlighting the urgency associated with time as the only limiting factor on what can be achieved

Baby, who do you think got me this far
Reaffirming the importance of the person or thing that has aided in their success and progress thus far

The boys in the car
Referencing the boys who have been leaders and driving force in reaching goals

The boys with the car keys
Acknowledging those who are given priority and power in making decisions and action

Know how to speak, how to speak
Having an understanding in how to communicate effectively and deliver a message

Know who to reach, who to reach
Having a good network and understanding of who can be reached for support or help in achieving goals

Saying you should have your mind set on the sunny place
Encouraging others to aim for positivity and happiness in their goals

All those late nights
Referencing the hard work and effort put in to reach goals while others are sleeping or resting

We'll drive and passing all the pretty lights
Describing the journey and hard work involved in reaching goals and achieving success
