Rollercoaster
F.r.e.D Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rollercoaster overhead
Meant to forget the things you said
The long path to the beach
I walk there when you're out of reach
Twelth avenue mailbox is empty again
But then you've got enough friends
And as we sit on the hot sand and I know you don't wanna hold my hand
It's not worked out the way I planned

Over my head I think about
The last time I called and you weren't home
Over my head I think about
She's gone to the beach to chase the tornado
I've never felt the air so hot
Than being somewhere you're not
And as we drive in the burning sun
I know for sure that you're the one
Over my head I think about
The last time I called and you weren't home
Over my head I think about
She's gone to the beach to chase the tornado
Over my head I think about
The last time I called and you weren't home

Over my head I think about
She's gone to the beach to chase the tornado

Line by Line Meaning

Rollercoaster overhead
The ups and downs of our relationship are like a rollercoaster ride that never ends

Meant to forget the things you said
I try to forget the hurtful things you said to me but they keep playing over and over in my mind

The long path to the beach
The journey to happiness in our relationship is long and difficult

I walk there when you're out of reach
I try to find peace and solace by myself when you're not available for me to lean on

Twelth avenue mailbox is empty again
I keep checking my mailbox for a letter from you, but it's always empty

But then you've got enough friends
I know that you have other people in your life who can provide you with the love and support that I can't

And as we sit on the hot sand and I know you don't wanna hold my hand
Even though we're physically close, I can feel the emotional distance between us

It's not worked out the way I planned
Our relationship hasn't turned out the way I had hoped or expected it to

Over my head I think about
I can't stop thinking about

The last time I called and you weren't home
The feeling of rejection and loneliness I felt when you weren't there for me when I needed you

She's gone to the beach to chase the tornado
You're off seeking excitement and adventure without me, leaving me behind to deal with my own insecurities and doubts

I've never felt the air so hot
The heat of the moment is intense and overwhelming

Than being somewhere you're not
It's unbearable to be without you

And as we drive in the burning sun
Our relationship is like driving through a desert, hot and uncomfortable

I know for sure that you're the one
Despite everything, I still believe that you're the one for me
