Closer vs. Fast Car
Yo Preston Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, i was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and thatβ€²s an issue but its okay
Hey, tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again
I know it breaks your heart
Move to the city with a broke damn car and
Four years no calls now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar and
I-I-I canβ€²t stop
Oh i-i-i can't stop
Oh baby pull me closer in the backseat of your rover
That i know you can't afford bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right on the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in boulder
We are never getting older
We are never getting older
You look as good as the day I met you





I forgot why I left you, I was insane
Stay,

and play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tuscon, okay
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car and
Four years no calls, now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar and
I can't stop
No, I can't stop


The lyrics of Yo Preston's song Closer vs. Fast Car describe a relationship that is both toxic and captivating.

Despite this issue, he continues the relationship, unable to stop himself from being pulled closer to his partner. The second verse describes the partner's situation: they moved to the city in a broke-down car, but now look stunning in a hotel bar. The song ends with the repeated phrase "We are never getting older," emphasizing the couple's desire to stay stuck in their current state, despite the potential negative consequences.

shoutout to Zaharah for finessing Halsey's part of the song. That's my fav part tbh and i think this was better than the original. I know it's hard to believe that singers nowadays are as good as a recording, but I CAN VERIFY, this girls voice is the REAL DEAL. I've seen her live and her voice will make your heart drop. <3
