Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nah, nah-nah, nah, nah-nah
Woah, oh, oh

Fuck all that that noise, babe
I went back to the bar, where we first met at, babe
Can't forget our start, life's crazy like that, babe
We can get lost, we must slow down
Yeah, remember

Remember our first talk, babe?
We laughed and talked then talked some more 'bout everything
Took one more shot and then you came back to my place
All we did was, kisses ad stare and just lay

It started with an Irish car bomb
Irish
Irish car bomb
Irish
Irish car bomb
Irish
Irish car bomb
It started with an Irish car bomb

Then we takin' long walks, babe
Three years in, the time flew by
How things have changed
The things we knew, once upon a time, they're rearranged
We got lost in the matrix (Lost in the matrix)
Let's get back to the basics, back to the days, when nothin' can phase us (Woah, oh, oh)
Hop in my car (Woah, oh, oh)
Let's hit the bar (Yeah, ayy)
Where we first met, let's not forget
Where it all started, baby
I know it's a lot
But you got my heart
Yeah, you got my heart

It started with an Irish car, oh
Irish, yeah
Irish car bomb (Remember)
Irish (Yeah, yeah)
Irish car bomb (Remember)
Irish, yeah
Irish car bomb (Uh)
It started with an Irish car bomb

Irish
