Style
Shara Caldwell and the LA Exchange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You come and pick me up, no headlights
A long drive,
Could end in burning flames or paradise
Fade into view, oh, it's been a while since I have even heard from you (heard from you)
I should just tell you to leave 'cause I
Know exactly where it leads but I
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style.
So it goes
He can't keep his wild eyes on the road
Takes me home
Lights are off, he's taking off his coat, hmm, yeah.
I say, "I heard, oh, that you've been out and about with some other girl, some other girl."
He says, "What you've heard is true but I
Can't stop thinking about you," and I...
I said, "I've been there, too, a few times."
'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt (tight little skirt)
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
Take me home
Just take me home, yeah.
Just take me home
(out of style)
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
The song "Style" by Shara Caldwell and the LA Exchange is a love song about two people who can't seem to resist each other's charms, even though they know the relationship is risky. The song describes a late-night rendezvous where the couple is driving with no headlights, which could symbolize the danger and uncertainty of their relationship. The lyrics reveal that they have a history and even though they know where the relationship leads, they can't seem to stay away from each other.
The chorus of the song highlights the attraction between the two, with the girl having a "red lip classic thing" that the boy likes and the boy having a "James Dean daydream look in his eye" that the girl finds irresistible. The chorus also reveals their tendency to crash and burn, but they always come back to each other because they never go out of style. This phrase could mean that their love is timeless and never goes out of fashion.
In the second verse, the girl confronts the boy about rumors she has heard of him being with another girl. The boy admits that it's true, but he can't stop thinking about her. The lyrics suggest that they have both been in this situation before, which could indicate that they have a history of repeatedly breaking up and coming back to each other.
Overall, the song explores the complex and risky nature of love and relationships, particularly those that are passionate and intense but also volatile and unpredictable.
