Jesse McCartney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
September 1st, 2003
It took the life right out of me
Hung up the phone
Broken
Tried to believe that it wasn't true
But in my heart I always knew
That being the life of the party would catch up to you
Your family was waiting and crying for three damn hours
I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
Everything's cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
Why babe?
Every time I'm home I pass that road
Driving alone and the street feels cold
Seeing your face yeah it's haunting me
My mind goes crazy tryin' to figure out
Just where you would be four years from now
And what you were thinking when the lights came down
Doctors were trying to save you for three damn hours
I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
Everything's cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
Why babe?
Who ever said that life was fair
When you live without a care
When you're invincible
When you're invincible
When you're invincible
Who thinks about leaving when you're livin'
I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
Everything's cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
Why babe?
The lyrics of Jesse McCartney's song Invincible speak of the aftermath of a fatal accident. The song's themes of self-destruction, regret, and loss are conveyed through vivid imagery and emotional storytelling. The singer warns their loved one ("I said don't do it babe, said it ain't worth it babe"), a reference to drinking and driving, but the loved one disregards their words and ends up in a devastating crash. The singer repeats the line "Four or five drinks and you were on your way" to emphasize the point that a single decision can have grave consequences.
The second verse of the song deals with the grief and pain of losing someone unexpectedly. The singer describes driving past the road where the accident happened and feeling the weight of the tragedy. The line "Seeing your face yeah it's haunting me" suggests that the singer is haunted by the memory of their loved one and the knowledge that their death could have been avoided. In the end, the song questions the notion of invincibility and the recklessness that often accompanies youth.

I said don't do it babe
I cautioned you not to do it
Said it ain't worth it babe
I said it isn't worth the risk
But you did it anyway
You ignored my warnings and did it
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
You had a few drinks and got behind the wheel
Everything's cool on the straight away
You thought everything was fine
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
You were speeding and taking dangerous risks
Why babe?
Why did you have to take this risk?
September 1st, 2003
The day when tragedy struck
It took the life right out of me
It left me devastated and heartbroken
Hung up the phone
Ended the call with a heavy heart
Raced out the door
Left the house in a hurry
Broken
Feeling shattered and hopeless
Tried to believe that it wasn't true
Tried to convince myself that it was just a bad dream
But in my heart I always knew
Deep down, I knew the truth
That being the life of the party would catch up to you
Your reckless behavior would have consequences
Your family was waiting and crying for three damn hours
Your loved ones were heartbroken, waiting for any hope
Every time I'm home I pass that road
Every time I'm in that area, I see the site of the accident
Driving alone and the street feels cold
Being alone on that road feels eerie and unsettling
Seeing your face yeah it's haunting me
The memory of you is painful and difficult to forget
My mind goes crazy tryin' to figure out
My mind tries to make sense of it all
Just where you would be four years from now
Wondering where you would be if you had made different choices
And what you were thinking when the lights came down
Trying to understand what went through your mind in the final moments
Doctors were trying to save you for three damn hours
The medical team worked hard to save your life for hours
Who ever said that life was fair
Life can be unpredictable and unfair
When you live without a care
Being careless can have terrible consequences
When you're invincible
When you feel like nothing can harm you
Who thinks about leaving when you're livin'
Nobody thinks about their life being cut short when they are enjoying it
