JPA989
Thomston Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was new for the both of us
Crossing over rivers and shaking the dust
From our shoes, talking to you
You held on to the sleeve on my shirt
But it was you that had me hanging onto all of your words
Drove fast, my foot on the gas

And on that night so humid, I could barely breathe
You drifted up so damn close to me
And the rest, it unfolded so rapidly
Put your hands on me

I like to drive around when it's late
I like the night so you stay awake with me, baby
Watching the glass fog up
Outside, doesn't matter to us
We'll go somewhere quiet and far away
You know what I like and you know what to say to me, baby
Watching the glass fog up
As our breath drowns out the suburbia

It was quick but you broke my fall
And I'm feeling kinda childish but I wanted to call you mine
Would that be alright?
I cut you a key, make a home in me
You don't have to worry 'bout wearing your welcome out
You're always allowed

All these nights so humid, we can barely breathe
And I'm savin' up the words I'm too afraid to speak
But I think I wanna give you the best of me
And I don't wanna go to sleep

I like to drive around when it's late
I like the night so you stay awake with me, baby
Watching the glass fog up
Outside, doesn't matter to us
We'll go somewhere quiet and far away
You know what I like and you know what to say to me, baby




Watching the glass fog up
As our breath drowns out the suburbia

Overall Meaning

Thomston's song JPA989 talks about a new, exciting relationship that is taking him to new places emotionally and physically. The first stanza refers to a journey they're taking together, shaking off the past and making a fresh start. The girl he's with is someone he can talk to and who holds onto him, but he's more enamored with her words and her power over him than she is with him. The chorus talks about Thomston's love for driving at night and how his partner stays awake with him to enjoy the ride. They share a connection that doesn't need the outside world, and they go to isolated places where they can be alone and enjoy each other's company.


The second verse is about the deeper feelings Thomston is having for his partner, and how he wants to make her his own. He's willing to give her a key to his place, so she can feel comfortable and welcomed anytime. He loves being with her, even when the humidity gets too much and they can barely breathe. The lyrics hint at Thomston's desire to express his feelings and make the relationship more solid, but he's afraid of being vulnerable and ruining what they have.


Overall, JPA989 is a love song that captures the early stages of a relationship filled with excitement and possibility. It describes how two people who are just starting together can share moments of intimacy that are both physical and emotional, and how their connection can be strong enough to survive the challenges ahead.

Man, I’ve lived Thomston since I first heard his voice, which was mainly on accident, and he’s was and still is my number 1 favourite artist. He is the literal definition of immaculate, and he will forever be in my heart. I hope that soon he will get the recognition he deserves!
