Stop This Car
Michelle Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm next to you
For the longest time
I prayed that I could ride up in yo Coup
As the wheels, they roll
Time roll so slow
Feels like I disappear
Gotcha eyes on the road
It's just like I'm not here
I can here the music playing
Turn it to my favorite station
Wind all on my face
But that's no remedy
When your heart it seem to be breaking
Tell you and you just don't listen
Don't know how much more I can take it
Nothing to say but
[Chorus]
Stop this car
I don't wanna ride no more
Cause it's just too fast
And you wont pump the brakes
Slow down hear what I gotta say
Stop this car
Was our destination too far?
I wanna get out
I don't wanna ride no more
Baby just stop this car
I miss the days when we would
Tour the countryside
And drive for hours on open road
Til the tank was dry
The minutes pasted, we cry and laugh
Get inside you're mind
Now it seems you built a wall
That I just can't knock down
I can here the music playing
Turn it to my favorite station
Wind all on my face
But that's no remedy
When my heart it seem to be breaking
Tell you and you just don't listen
Don't know how much more I can take it
Nothing to say but
[Chorus]
There's nothing worse than being ignored (being ignored)
If you don't want me put the brakes to the floor (to the floor)
When you shut me out I feel so alone
Pull over right here, open up the door
Watch me, I can be gone, oh yeah
Oh yeah, Stop this car, Stop this car
[Chorus: x2]
Dark night surrounding me
Watching you're lights fade away
The lyrics to "Stop This Car" by Michelle Williams are about a relationship that has hit a breaking point. The singer is in the passenger seat of a car with her partner, and as they drive, she feels like she's disappearing from sight. She's desperately trying to get her partner to slow down the car so they can talk and work things out, but they're not listening. The relationship used to be full of adventure, but now it feels like they've hit a wall.
The verse "I can hear the music playing, turn it to my favorite station, wind all on my face, but that's no remedy when your heart it seems to be breaking" illustrates how the singer is trying to find something to distract her from her current predicament, but nothing seems to work. She tries to talk to her partner, but they don't listen, which makes her feel ignored and alone.
The chorus is a plea for her partner to stop the car because the relationship is going too fast and they need to slow down and talk it out. She misses the days when they would go on road trips together and they were happy, and now she just wants the car to stop so they can figure out their problems. The bridge, "There's nothing worse than being ignored, if you don't want me put the brakes to the floor" illustrates just how desperate the singer is to be heard and understood.
Overall, "Stop This Car" is a well-crafted song about a common problem in relationships - communication breakdown.

I see the day past me by
Being with you makes time pass quickly
When I'm next to you
I feel like I'm beside myself when I'm with you
For the longest time
I have been wanting this for a long time
I prayed that I could ride up in yo Coup
I had been hoping to ride with you in your car
As the wheels, they roll
The car's wheels are turning
Time roll so slow
Time feels like it's dragging
Feels like I disappear
I get the sense that I'm fading away
Gotcha eyes on the road
You're not paying attention to me
And so many things
There are so many things I want to say to you
It's just like I'm not here
I feel invisible to you
I can here the music playing
The music is playing loudly in the car
Turn it to my favorite station
I turned the radio to my favorite station
Wind all on my face
I feel the wind blowing on my face
But that's no remedy
Music and fresh air can't fix how I'm feeling
When your heart it seem to be breaking
My heart hurts when we're together
Tell you and you just don't listen
I've told you how I feel and you ignore me
Don't know how much more I can take it
I'm at the end of my rope with this situation
Nothing to say but
I'm out of words to express myself
Stop this car
I want to get out of this situation
I don't wanna ride no more
I'm done with this ride
Cause it's just too fast
Things are happening too quickly
And you wont pump the brakes
You're not slowing down
Slow down hear what I gotta say
Take a minute to listen to me
Was our destination too far?
Was this relationship too far gone?
Baby just stop this car
We need to end this relationship
I miss the days when we would
I miss the good old days
Tour the countryside
We used to go on long drives together
And drive for hours on open road
We used to drive for hours without a plan
Til the tank was dry
Until we ran out of gas
The minutes pasted, we cry and laugh
We used to have good and bad moments, but we shared them
Get inside you're mind
You have become distant
Now it seems you built a wall
You are now just blocking me out
That I just can't knock down
I can't break through the wall you've built
There's nothing worse than being ignored (being ignored)
Being ignored is one of the worst things ever
If you don't want me put the brakes to the floor (to the floor)
If you don't want me, just end things now
When you shut me out I feel so alone
I feel completely alone when you push me away
Pull over right here, open up the door
Stop the car, let me out
Watch me, I can be gone, oh yeah
If you don't change your ways, I'll be gone for good
Dark night surrounding me
I'm left in darkness without you
Watching you're lights fade away
I'm watching you disappear from my life
