Speeding Cars
Walking On Cars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you tell me who you are, what you like?
What's on your mind, if I'd get it right?
How I love that no one knows
And these secrets all that we've got so far
The demons in the dark, lie again
Play pretends like it never ends
This way no one has to know
Even the half smile would have slowed down the time
If I could call you half mine
Maybe this is the safest way to go
We're singing
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt
We're singing
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
You go back to him and then I'll go back to her
So if I stand in front of a speeding car
Would you give your little heart?
Say the word?
Due to just me and you
This way everyone will know
'Cause these secrets all that we've got so far
The demons in the dark, lie again
Play pretends like it never ends
This way no one has to know
Even the half smile would have slowed down the time
If I could call you half mine
Maybe this is the safest way to go
We're singing
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt
We're singing
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
You go back to him and then I'll go back to her
So if I stand in front of a speeding car
Would you tell me who you are, what you like?
What's on your mind, if I'd get it right?
How I love that no one knows
These secrets all that we've got so far
The demons in the dark, lie again
Play pretends like it never ends
How I love that no one knows
Advertise my secret
I don't really need it
I know you can feel this
So advertise my secret
I don't really need it
I know you can feel this
So advertise my
Advertise my secret
We're singing
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt
We're singing
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
You go back to him and then I'll go back to her
If I stand in front of a speeding car
Don't know who you are
Don't know who you are
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
You go back to him and then I'll go back to her
The lyrics of Walking On Cars' song "Speeding Cars" describe a person's desire to reveal their true self to someone they care about, but their fear of the consequences that may arise from doing so. The first stanza poses the question of whether the person they are addressing would reveal their own secrets and desires in the event of an accident. The second stanza suggests that perhaps keeping these secrets hidden is the safest way to proceed, as nobody gets hurt. The repeated use of the phrase "nobody gets hurt" indicates that the person singing the song is trying to protect either themselves or the person they love from potential harm.
The lines "the demons in the dark, lie again, play pretends like it never ends" suggests that the person singing is struggling with inner demons and engaging in a kind of deception. This idea is reinforced in the chorus with the lyrics "these secrets all that we've got so far". It appears that the person singing is trying to protect their relationship by avoiding the potential damage that might occur if their true feelings were revealed. However, they do express their love, albeit indirectly, with the line "even the half smile would have slowed down the time if I could call you half mine".
The repeated use of the phrase "heya heya heya heya" in the chorus creates a catchy and memorable hook. Overall, the lyrics of "Speeding Cars" suggest that the struggle to balance the desire for intimacy and connection with the fear of rejection and pain is a universal experience.

So if I stand in front of a speeding car
If I put myself in a dangerous situation
Would you tell me who you are, what you like?
Will you open up to me and share your true self?
What's on your mind, if I'd get it right?
What are you thinking about, and can I understand it?
How I love that no one knows
I enjoy keeping our secrets between just us
And these secrets all that we've got so far
Our relationship is based on these shared secrets
The demons in the dark, lie again
Our fears and insecurities continue to haunt us
Play pretends like it never ends
We try to ignore our problems and act like everything is fine
This way no one has to know
We keep our issues and struggles hidden from the public eye
Even the half smile would have slowed down the time
The smallest gestures feel significant when shared with someone special
If I could call you half mine
If we could only be partially committed to each other
Maybe this is the safest way to go
Maybe keeping our relationship casual is the best choice
We're singing Heya heya heya heya, Heya, heya heya
We express ourselves through music and singing
This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt
We believe that keeping things casual will prevent us from getting hurt
You go back to him and then I'll go back to her
We accept that we may not end up together, and will go back to our previous partners
Would you give your little heart? Say the word?
Are you willing to be vulnerable and give me your heart?
Due to just me and you
Our relationship is only between us
'Cause these secrets all that we've got so far
Our relationship is sustained by the secrets that we share
Advertise my secret, I don't really need it
I don't need to share our secrets with anyone else
I know you can feel this, So advertise my secret
I trust that you understand the importance of our shared secrets
Don't know who you are, Don't know who you are
I don't know who you truly are as a person

Definitely the most underrated song ever. I have yet to come across a track that could make you burst into tears from the first few lyrics.
âSo if I stand in front of a speeding carâ - thatâs when you have to come clean, be honest and tell the truth but with not much time to be able to do so.
âWould you tell me who you are, what you like? What's on your mindâ - again, there are so many questions to answer to someone whoâs in front of a âSpeeding carâ (metaphorically speaking)
This song covers any form of emotion, feeling and scenario anyone has ever encountered. Itâs literally impossible to not find yourself withing the song.
Absolutely Phenomenal

Iâve a 5year old son whoâs autistic.. every time he hears this song comes on his eyes light up. Thank you folks from the bottom of my heart.
@jvh4788
I have autistic features and I am a synesthete. My brain produces colours and shapes in the universe in my head when I listen to music or hear sounds. I love this song so much and what it makes me see and feel.
