Fast Car
Taio Cruz(타이오 크루즈) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m in a battle with my heartbeat
The more I struggle the more I get deep
I go full throttle down the dark streets
And there is trouble ahead I can’t weak
It’s like I’m running through a red light
Girl you know you make me weak
I should be hittin’ all the brake lights
Hold up, hold up oh

Girl you really turn me on, on, on, on
You know you make my engine run, run, run, run
And there’s no turning back us
We’ve gone too far
I’ll drive you like a fast car

Girl you really turn me on, on, on, on
You know you make my engine run, run, run, run
And there’s no turning back us
We’ve gone too far
I’ll drive you like a fast car

It isn’t like me to get caught up
But when you running you’re never quite free
I wasn’t really meant to find love
But now you found me and got me all weak
It’s like I’m running through a red light
Girl you know you make me weak
I should be hittin’ all the brake lights
Hold up, hold up oh

Girl you really turn me on, on, on, on
You know you make my engine run, run, run, run
And there’s no turning back us
We’ve gone too far
I’ll drive you like a fast car

Girl you really turn me on, on, on, on
You know you make my engine run, run, run, run
And there’s no turning back us
We’ve gone too far
I’ll drive you like a fast car
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I’ll drive you like a fast car

I’m in a battle with my heartbeat
The more I struggle the more I get deep
I go full throttle down the dark streets
And there is trouble ahead I can’t weak
I can’t weak I can’t weak

Girl you really turn me on, on, on, on
You know you make my engine run, run, run, run
And there’s no turning back us
We’ve gone too far
I’ll drive you like a fast car

Girl you really turn me on, on, on, on
You know you make my engine run, run, run, run
And there’s no turning back us
We’ve gone too far
I’ll drive you like a fast car
Ooh ooh ooh ooh




Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I’ll drive you like a fast car

Overall Meaning

The song "Fast Car" by Taio Cruz is about intense attraction and desire between two people. The lyrics convey the idea that the singer is so drawn to this person that they are willing to go against their better judgment and risk everything for the thrill of being near them. They are in a battle with their own heart, struggling against the intense emotions that are building within them. The use of the metaphor of a fast car is fitting, as it represents the high speed and danger of their attraction.


The chorus of the song repeats the idea that this person turns the singer on and makes their "engine run," indicating that the attraction is not just emotional, but also physical. The line "And there's no turning back us, we've gone too far" suggests that they are both fully committed to this intense attraction and there is no going back. However, the repetition of the line "I should be hittin' all the brake lights" implies that the singer knows they should slow down or even stop, but they can't bring themselves to do so.


Overall, the song speaks to the universal experience of being swept up in intense attraction and desire, even when it may not be the best decision.

He is one of my fave artists from 2009 to 2013. I sung Break your heart when i was lying in a hospital bed in 2010. Music was the one thing that kept me going fighting the brain tumor.
