The Car Is On Fire Lyrics

Hello, touch and please, don't go
Greeting someone with the hope that they will stay, and pleading with them not to leave.

Swear I'll stay cool
Promising to remain calm and collected in the face of any situation.

Hello, crash and don't withdraw,
Welcoming chaos and unpredictability, while asking it not to hold back.

Who knows who's who?
Expressing uncertainty about one's surroundings and the people within it.

The look I'm looking for -
The exact appearance or style that the artist is seeking.

Flash in street lights
A brief image or moment captured in the glow of street lights.

The voice that attracts my thoughts
The sound or tone that resonates with the singer's mind and emotions.

Wind's breath in a crowd
The subtle movements and energies of a large group of people, like the breeze blowing through them.

She's a New Yorker, trembling air
Describing a woman who embodies the energy and vitality of New York City, with a sense of urgency and vibrancy.

Every corner, park and square
Capturing the essence and spirit of the city, with its many different neighborhoods, landmarks, and public spaces.

She's a New Yorker, there's no clue
Despite her outward confidence and energy, the woman remains a mystery and is difficult to truly understand or decode.

Part-time lover, love is blue
The artist's relationship with the woman is not fully committed or serious, and there is a sense of melancholy or sadness underlying their connection.

C'mon, won't you take my hand,
Urging the other person to take a leap of faith or join the singer in a bold action or adventure.

I'll let you down
Admitting to the possibility of failure or disappointment, but still willing to take a risk or try something new.

C'mon, won't you grab my tone,
Encouraging the other person to respond to the singer's message or invitation with enthusiasm and energy.

Drown in the sound?
Imagining a scenario where the two people are completely immersed in the experience of music or other sensory stimuli, losing themselves in the moment.

C'mon, don't you know the world
Arguing that the other person is missing out on all the opportunities and adventures that life has to offer, and urging them to take a chance.

Is on your side
Suggesting that the other person has the advantage or the upper hand in life, and should seize the opportunity at hand.

C'mon, won't you think my name
Asking the other person to consider the singer's identity and perspective, and to recognize the value of their input or advice.

And melt your mind
Proposing a transformative experience or encounter, where the other person is overwhelmed with emotion or ideas.

I'm a New Yorker, what is true?
The artist identifies with the energy and excitement of the city, but is also aware of its complexity and ambiguities.

Part-time joker, nothing new
The artist is portraying themselves as a carefree, playful individual, but recognizes that this persona is not original or unique.

Day sleep-walker, missing you
The singer is consumed with thoughts of the other person, even in mundane moments or everyday tasks.

I'm a New Yorker, love is blue
Repeating the earlier line to emphasize the connection between the artist's identity and their emotional state, suggesting that the city itself is a catalyst for deep feelings and experiences.
