SHOTGUN LOVE
Pia Mia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoever said roses
Don't bloom in the winter time?
Whoever said rain drops
Don't turn into sunshine?

I'm runnin' away with my baby oh
I'm runnin' away with my baby oh
I'm runnin' away ay ay ay ay ay
I'm runnin' away ay ay ay ay ay
I'm runnin' away with my baby, oh

Bang bang we're the talk of the town
You already know what they're talkin' about
Hit the block with the top let down
Pull up at the scene and we shut it down

Fired up, blow me in the wind
Deuce in the air we ain't worried bout them
Do the time I'ma do the crime
You can give me life
I'ma ride or die for yah

All of the police,
Couldn't catch us together baby
We never go slowly
If they take you they take me

I'm runnin' away with my baby oh
I'm runnin' away with my baby oh
I'm runnin' away ay ay ay ay ay
I'm runnin' away ay ay ay ay ay
I'm runnin' away with my baby, oh

Bang bang it's a shotgun love
Peddle to the floor,
We can never get enough
Every time they talkin', why they gotta bring us up?
Haters gonna hate but we keep doing us

Light me up,
Take me higher baby
Pull the whip over let me drive you crazy
Backseat with the system bangin'
Backseat with the system bangin'

All of the police
Couldn't catch us together baby
We never go slowly
If they take you they take me

I'm runnin' away with my baby
I'm runnin' away oh
I'm runnin' away with my baby
I'm runnin' away oh
I'm runnin' away ay ay ay ay ay
I'm runnin' away ay ay ay ay ay
I'm runnin' away with my baby,
I'm runnin' away





Yeah yeah yeah

Overall Meaning

The chorus of Pia Mia's song Shot Gun Love is about running off with her lover despite the opposition they may face. The first verse questions the cliches we believe in, such as roses not blooming in the winter or raindrops never turning into sunshine. Pia Mia is saying that anything is possible, including running off with her significant other.


The second verse talks about their love being the talk of the town and how they shut down any scene they pull up to. They are not afraid of being themselves, even if it means doing something that society may not approve of. The bridge is about how they keep going despite what anyone says. They are in it together and nothing can tear them apart.


Overall, the song is about defying societal norms for the sake of love. Pia Mia and her partner are willing to do anything to be together, even if it means running away from the authorities.
