1999
Hovvdy Lyrics

Can you tell me where you started from?
Asking where you came from, your past experiences.

And where you want to end up
Asking about your future goals and aspirations.

Lightness to heavy mood
Mood swing from happiness to sadness.

Feel you say the words out
Expressing emotions verbally to release internal tension.

Reaching up to my mouth
Sudden urge to talk about something important.

It's a small town and we're going around
Living in a town where everyone knows each other and can't escape their judgments.

Buzzcut wearing a hand-me-down
Old-fashioned, simple appearance that contrasts with the current trends.

When your younger sister's around
Feeling protective and responsible for your siblings.

Propped up on the box spring
Sitting on a bed with a simple, minimalistic lifestyle.

It's so hard to make a heart sing
Difficult to find true love and happiness.

It's so hard to find the real thing
Difficult to differentiate between genuine and fake things in life.

You make me smile and turned around
Feeling happy and surprised by someone's actions.

Hardly slowing down
Continuing with life without slowing down or giving up.

You're onto me now
Someone understands your true intentions or motivations.

I'm on you now
Returning the favor and understanding someone else's intentions or motivations.

'Cause it's a small town
Repeating that the small town lifestyle is inescapable.

And we'll go for a drive
Taking a break from reality and enjoying a leisurely trip.

Prom queen 1999
Nostalgic memory of a past event or person.

Curtains swing on either side
Visual description of driving through town and seeing the scenery.

Small town and we're going around
Repeating the theme of not being able to escape the small town lifestyle.
