Red Wagon
Luke Lalonde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time flies by like a jet
It's so long, I haven't found my place yet
And I just wanna get you home
Ridin' my lil' red wagon home

Time flies by since we met
It's so long, you haven't seen my place yet
And I just wanna get you home
Ridin' my lil' red wagon home

Let's go

And I don't wanna wake no more to see your face
I'm a real mess when I stay in place
I wanna make sure that you see my place tonight

And I don't wanna wake no more to see your face
I'm a real mess when I stay in place
I wanna make sure that you see my place tonight

Time flies by like a jet
It's so long, I haven't found my place yet
And I just wanna get you home
Ridin' my lil' red wagon home

Time flies by since we met
It's so long, you haven't seen my place yet
And I just wanna get you home, get you home
Ridin' my lil' red wagon home

And I don't wanna wake no more to see your face
I'm a real mess when I stay in place
I wanna make sure that you see my place tonight

And I don't wanna wake no more to see your face
I'm a real mess when I stay in place
I wanna make sure that you see my place tonight

I get real messy when I stay in place
I can't wait too long to see your face
In one night

Get you home, get you home
Ridin' my lil' red wagon home
Get you home, get you home
Ridin' my lil' red wagon home

And I don't wanna wake to see your face
And I don't wanna wake to see your face
And I don't wanna wake no more to see your face
And I don't wanna wake no more to see your face

Get you home, get you home
Ridin' my lil' red wagon home




Get you home, get you home
Ridin' my lil' red wagon home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Luke Lalonde's song "Red Wagon" convey a sense of urgency and longing to be with someone. The repeated line "Time flies by like a jet" suggests that time is passing quickly, and the singer feels like they haven't found their place yet. They express a strong desire to get the person they are singing to home, using the metaphor of riding a little red wagon. This imagery represents the singer's eagerness to bring this person into their life and show them their world.


The lyrics also reveal some vulnerability and insecurity. The line "I'm a real mess when I stay in place" indicates that the singer feels more comfortable and confident when they are actively pursuing this connection. They don't want to wake up and see the person's face anymore, possibly because it reminds them of the longing and messiness they feel when they are apart. Instead, they want to make sure the person sees their place, suggesting that they want to invite them into their life with openness and authenticity.

I love Luke's taste in music and his style! He has inspired me in so many ways in life and in music! Especially the day i saw him and the rest of the Born Ruffians live in Portland Oregon last year! I was in the front row and getting smashed by people! but i held my spot for the whole show! He shook my hand twice! and handed me his guitar pick he was using throughout the whole show!! THEN one of the people who helps set up equipment for them throws a tambourine for Andy's part of the song! and it missed! so Luke is SINGING and he is PLAYING GUITAR and he is DANCING all at the same time! THEN he picks up the tambourine with his foot and STARTS PLAYING THE TAMBOURINE PART AS HE'S PLAYING GUITAR, SINGING AND DANCING AS WELL!! This man is truly beyond talented and deserves the WORLD to recognize him! :)) Keep it goin' Luke!
