She looks good when she's out on the road
But, I'm livin' fast and I'm trynna lose control
Is it with you, is it with you, is it with you?
Or someone else?

In The-Dream's song "Fast Car," the singer confesses his love for his partner and acknowledges that she is kind and sweet but not quite what he is looking for in a romantic partner. The singer wants a "bad girl" and admits that his partner is "just too good" for him. The chorus focuses on his desire for a "fast car" and compares the thrill of the car to the thrill he seeks in a relationship. He wants to be with someone who can match his fast-paced lifestyle and who can handle his need for speed. The repeated "show me the green light" implies that the singer is ready to move forward and find the relationship he desires.
The song's lyrics also contain a sense of competition, as the singer talks about racetracks waiting in his bedroom and wanting to "lose control." He wants a partner who can keep up with him and his lifestyle. The line "she looks good when she's out on the road, but I'm living fast and trying to lose control" suggests that the singer is not satisfied with surface-level beauty and wants a deeper connection with someone who can match his intensity.
Overall, "Fast Car" is a song about seeking excitement and adventure in life and relationships. The singer is looking for someone who can match his pace and desires, and he sees his need for a "fast car" as a metaphor for finding the right person.
