Directions
Joel Christopher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I think I already fell
I told, told myself
Take it slow this time, oh well
For you, it's not the same
I think you kinda like the games
You got me workin', hope it's not in vein
You said look what I'm wearing, I said get in the car
Don't care where we're going long as we can see the stars
Don't gotta talk about it, I kinda like where we are
I'm bad with directions can you tell me how to get to, how to get to your heart
Hold my breath
Every single time I hit send
Don't even understand
How a girl like you ain't told me yet we're better off as friends
You said look what I'm wearing, I said get in the car
Don't care where we're going long as we can see the stars
Don't gotta talk about it, I kinda like where we are
I'm bad with directions can you tell me how to get to, how to get to your heart
Outta my league, so outta my league
You're not the type to think twice 'bout me
Girl you're J-Lo, I'll be Steve
I'm telling you one shot's all I need
You said look what I'm wearing, I said get in the car
Don't care where we're going long as we can see the stars
Don't gotta talk about it, I kinda like where we are
I'm bad with directions can you tell me how to get to, how to get to your heart
In "Directions," Joel Christopher sings about his desire for a girl who he thinks may not see him in the same way he sees her. He acknowledges that he may have fallen for her too soon and tells himself to take things slowly. However, he also notes that he likes the sound of her name and wants to get closer to her. Meanwhile, the girl seems to enjoy playing games with him and hasn't revealed whether she feels the same way. Despite this, Joel is willing to take a chance and try to win her over, even if he's not sure how to go about it.
The song has a catchy beat that complements Joel's slightly wistful tone. The lyrics are relatable for anyone who's ever had a crush on someone they weren't sure felt the same way. "Directions" is a song that captures the feeling of uncertainty and excitement that often comes with falling for someone new.
