Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell 'em where to go
You and me in the backseat
Don't care where we go
Time with you is like paradise
Head on your shoulder
Your hands on my thigh
Let's ride (haha)
Post-Chorus:
I like your chains yeah
Feeling like the summer (feeling like the summer)
Matching chains yeah
Silver is our favorite color (silver is our favorite color)
My bawdy frames get you fucked up
I'm not sure if we're in love
Booked a flight to go to Tokyo (Tokyo)
I'm scared of flying now don't you know yeah
(Ooh ah) Ah ooh
Trying to feel your touch
You are so far away but don't make no mistake
That you're not on my mind all that much
Aye, aye, aye
Pre-Chorus:
Trying to figure out if you will ever see me cry (me cry)
Maybe when I know you better and I will have to say goodbye (goodbye)
Oh I trust that it's not easy being in love with me (me)
But I hope that you can see that it will be worth it baby
I want you to call a taxi
Tell 'em where to go
You and me in the backseat (backseat)
Don't care where we go (care where we go)
Time with you is like paradise
Head on your shoulder
Your hands on my thigh
Let's ride
Aye, aye, aye
Oh let's ride, yeah
Post-Chorus:
I like your chains yeah
Feeling like the summer
Matching chains yeah
Silver is our favorite color
Oh I trust that it's not easy being in love with me

Silver is our favorite color
I like your chains yeah
Feeling like the summer
Matching chains yeah
Silver is our favorite color
Oh I trust that it's not easy being in love with me
(I like your chains yeah
Feeling like the summer)
Matching chains yeah
