Missouri
Kylie Rae Harris Lyrics

Missouri
Too late
Interstate
I know lanes are the only thing I'm gonna change
Dashboard clock
Little devil on my shoulder sayin' don't stop, don't
(Chorus)
Oh Missouri
Why'd you make me fall in love with him
He's only gonna break my heart again
Why am I in such a hurry?
Oh Missouri
I guess I kinda sorta miss his touch
Girl gets lonely long enough
The lines get a little blurry
Oh Missouri
Last time
I swore it was the last time
It felt so good, I couldn't get it off my mind
Cruise control
I know this road
I could find his kiss with my eyes closed
(Chorus)
Can't believe I go this far for one night in his arms
I just jumped into my car without thinkin'
(Chorus)
In the song "Missouri" by Kylie Rae Harris, she sings about a bittersweet love affair and the conflicting emotions that come with it. The lyrics depict a sense of impulsiveness and longing for a person who has previously caused heartbreak. The verses describe a journey on the interstate, symbolizing the singer's desire to change their current situation. The "tick tock" of the dashboard clock represents the passing of time and the urgency felt by the singer.
The chorus addresses the state of Missouri as a metaphorical representation of the person who has captured the singer's heart. The singer questions why Missouri, or this person, made them fall in love again, knowing that they will only end up with a broken heart. Despite the pain, the singer admits to missing the touch of this person and feeling lonely, which blurs the line between right and wrong.
The lyrics also highlight the singer's impulsive nature, as they mention going to great lengths for just one night in this person's arms. It's a moment of vulnerability and recklessness, shown by the decision to jump into the car without thinking.
Overall, "Missouri" captures the complex emotions surrounding a love that is both alluring and destructive. It delves into themes of longing, heartbreak, and the inability to resist the pull of a toxic relationship.

Too late
I've already made a mistake
Interstate
Traveling on the highway
I know lanes are the only thing I'm gonna change
I can't make any significant changes in my life
Tick tock
Time is passing
Dashboard clock
The clock on my car's dashboard
Little devil on my shoulder sayin' don't stop, don't
My inner voice is urging me to keep going
Oh Missouri
Addressing the state of Missouri
Why'd you make me fall in love with him
Blaming Missouri for my feelings for someone
He's only gonna break my heart again
Anticipating heartbreak from the person I love
Why am I in such a hurry?
Questioning my impulsive behavior
I guess I kinda sorta miss his touch
Acknowledging that I still have feelings for him
Girl gets lonely long enough
Feeling lonely for a prolonged period of time
The lines get a little blurry
The boundaries between right and wrong become unclear
Last time
The previous occasion
I swore it was the last time
I promised myself it wouldn't happen again
It felt so good, I couldn't get it off my mind
The experience was enjoyable and consuming my thoughts
Cruise control
Maintaining a steady pace
I know this road
I'm familiar with this route
I could find his kiss with my eyes closed
I know his touch so well, I can imagine it easily
Can't believe I go this far for one night in his arms
Regretting the distance I've traveled for a brief encounter
I just jumped into my car without thinkin'
Acting impulsively without considering the consequences
