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?

Round and round and up and down

The Dream's song, Fast Car, is a love song that follows the progression of a guy trying to find the right kind of girl for himself. The singer likes this girl too much, but he doesn't want someone who is too sweet or good for him. He wants someone who can keep up and challenges him, who is a bad girl. He wants her to be able to ride with him all night long, while also challenging him to be a better person. While the girl he likes is amazing, he needs someone that suits him better, someone who can live up to his expectations. The chorus talks about the fast car that he needs, with which he'll ride all night long, and also park it in his bed, saying that he wants someone who is just as fast as his car.
The song seems to be a metaphor, with the fast car representing the type of girl he wants. His idea of love and his expectations of a girl are extraordinary compared to the normal idea of love. He doesn't want love at first sight, cute dates, or clichéd ideas of love. Instead, he wants a daring girl who can tease him with a fast life of speedway. The lyrics are relatable for those who want to find the perfect person for themselves, and the concept of a fast car is a neat way to present this idea.
