Southbound
Six Going On Seven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Because it's a line you didn't want to cross,
Now you're a run-on sentence.
Championing your lost cause
To anyone who will listen, man,
And it's getting hard to stop.
You dropped the line, yeah, you made the call.

Because your low-rent soul is lost;
And any noise you can make now just might prove
It's what you meant to do - but would you do it again?

It's what you meant to do - but would you do it again?

Because it's a line you didn't want to cross,
Now you're a run-on sentence.
Championing your lost cause to anyone who will listen, man,
And it's getting hard to stop.
You dropped the line, yeah, you made the call.

Because your low-rent soul is lost;
And any noise you can make now just might prove
It's what you meant to do - but would you do it again?

It's what you meant to do - but would you do it again?

Would you do it again?
Would you do it again?
Because it's a line you didn't want to cross, would you do it again? (x3)

It's a line you didn't want to cross,
Cause any noise you can make now just might prove
It's what you meant to do - but would you do it again?





It's what you meant to do - but would you do it again?

Overall Meaning

The song "Southbound" by Six Going On Seven is a powerful commentary on the consequences of crossing certain lines. The opening lines describe how the singer has crossed a line that they never wanted to, resulting in them becoming a "run-on sentence" – a metaphor for a life that is spinning out of control. They are now championing a lost cause to anyone who will listen, and they can't seem to stop. The lyrics suggest that the singer knows they have made a mistake, but they are having a hard time dealing with the consequences.


The chorus poses a question to the singer, asking them whether they would do it all again. The lines "It's what you meant to do – but would you do it again?" seem to suggest that although the singer may have had good intentions initially, they must now face up to the fact that they have made a mistake. The repeated question "would you do it again?" highlights the importance of taking responsibility for our actions and considering the long-term consequences of our choices.


Overall, "Southbound" is an introspective song about the struggle to come to terms with our mistakes and face the consequences. It is a powerful reminder that the choices we make in life can have far-reaching effects and that we must always be mindful of the lines we cross.
