Rollercoaster
Fanny Andersen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got it bad,
I got it worse
You're in love with the wrong girl
She realed you in
so close it hurts
and she's ruling your whole world
Why can't you see that I make you happy baby?
You just got to let me

Rollercoaster that you put me through
and you don't even know that you do.
Rollercoaster that you put me through.
I gotta know what it feels like to hold ya,
make you go oh, oh, oh
and i've been tryna get a hold of ya,
but you gotta let go-o-o
And when you do, you´ll see that girl you knew is history.
I'll make you go oh, oh, oh.

That late-night call we had till 3,
are you lonely without me?
That late-night drink you bought for me,
was it more than just friendly?
Why can´t you see that the more you give me
seems to leave my heart so empty.

Rollercoaster that you put me through
and you don't even know that you do.
Rollercoaster that you put me through.
I gotta know what it feels like to hold ya,
make you go oh, oh, oh
and I've been tryna get a hold of ya,
but you gotta let go-o-o
And when you do, you´ll see that girl you knew is history.
I'll make you go oh, oh, oh.

I lay alone, you´re calling again.
the usual talk, and I´m still waiting.
And you say:
I gotta know what it feels like to hold ya,
make you go oh, oh, oh
and I've been tryna get a hold of ya,
cus I want you to know oh oh
that late night call we had till 3,
the way you looked at me, like I was your only oh
I gotta know what it feels like to hold ya,
make you go oh, oh, oh
and maybe now I got a hold of ya,
I will never let go-o-o
Cus I got you, and you got me,

and we´ll make history.
I'll make you go oh, oh, oh.

Overall Meaning

The song "Rollercoaster" by Fanny Andersen speaks about a person who is deeply interested in someone who is already in love with the wrong person. The singer of the song argues that they can make the person happier, and they should give them a chance. They then talk about how the other person is oblivious to the effect they have on them, causing them to feel like they are on a rollercoaster ride due to their ups and downs. The singer wants to feel what it's like to hold the object of their affection, but they can't seem to reach them, and the other person seems to leave them feeling empty in the end. Nonetheless, the singer will continue to try getting closer and hopes to make history with them.

The lyrics of the song are relatable to people who have developed feelings for the wrong person or had a hard time letting go of someone. It is easy to relate because one may have experienced how it feels when somebody is interested in us, but we can't reciprocate those feelings, or we have the wrong impression. We may also have experienced reaching out to someone to no avail, and it can be hard to deal with the frustration and heartbreak of unrequited love.
