Miles on It
Marshmello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Old roads, we've been
Tearin' up since way back when
But these wheels are innocent
New hitch, new seats, no history
And you just can't fake that
So, let's change that
Back of the Chevy with the engine runnin'
Just you and me in a truck bed wide like a California King
We could break it in if you know what I mean
Put some miles on it
Back of the Chevy with the engine runnin'
Just you and me in a truck bed wide like a California King
We could break it in if you know what I mean
Put some miles on it
We could break it in if you know what I mean
All night, no brakes
All tail, no gate
Ain't gotta try too hard
My baby's push to start
All torque, full speed
Off-road, on me
Zero to a hundred fast
My foot ain't touch the gas
I said, "Hey, baby, slow it down, let's make it last"
You said, "Where's the fun in that?"
Yeah, let's go, put some miles on it
Back of the Chevy with the engine runnin'
Just you and me in a truck bed wide like a California King
We could break it in if you know what I mean
Put some miles on it
We could break it in if you know what I mean
Put some miles on it
We could break it in if you know what I mean
Mile after mile after mile after mile
Turn up the night like that radio dial
Shoulder to shoulder where nobody knows
Know where we're goin', we ain't goin' home
We're puttin' miles on it
Back of the Chevy with the engine runnin'
Just you and me in a truck bed wide like a California King
We could break it in if you know what I mean
Put some miles on it
Back of the Chevy with the engine runnin'
Just you and me in a truck bed wide like a California King
We could break it in if you know what I mean
Put some miles on it
We could break it in if you know what I mean
Put some miles on it
We could break it in if you know what I mean
Put some miles on it
The lyrics to Marshmello's song "Miles on It" evoke a sense of adventure and freedom, embodying the theme of exploration and making memories with a loved one. The opening lines paint a picture of a new beginning, symbolized by a new truck with a big lift, ready to tackle old roads that hold memories from the past.

New truck, big lift
Starting fresh with a new beginning and a big change
Old roads, we've been
Reflecting on past experiences and memories
Tearin' up since way back when
Causing excitement and adventure for a long time
But these wheels are innocent
Feeling pure and untainted by the past
New hitch, new seats, no history
Embracing new opportunities without any baggage from the past
And you just can't fake that
Acknowledging the authenticity and genuineness of the situation
So, let's change that
Let's make the most of this fresh start and new beginning
