eleven.five Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Busy disappearing 'til I saw your face
In the shadows fearing
Now I can't escape
The force field that we're in got me light years away
So out of space
Without a trace
C'mon
Ain't no way we're going home
Let's stay on the run forever
Let's go nowhere that we know
Get strange with the stars together
We can do what you wanna do
What you wanna do
Baby, we can do better
Ain't no way we're going home
Yeah, so let's go
Yeah, let's go
Burning air
You lit a fire, feel like millionaires
Backtop to tires let's get outta here
And you make it brighter, when you can't see the road
where does this go?
God only knows
Baby we're going, baby we're going
C'mon
Ain't no way we're going home
Let's stay on the run forever
Let's go nowhere that we know
Get strange with the stars together
We can do what you wanna do
What you wanna do
Baby, we can do better
Ain't no way we're going home
Yeah, so let's go
Yeah, let's go
I'm a light
You're the bomb
We're together
I'm the pop
You're the rock
We're together
I'm the write
You're the song
We're together
Yeah, together, yeah
Light years away
So outta space
Without a trace
Baby we're going, baby we're going
C'mon
We can do what you wanna do
What you wanna do
Baby, we can do better
Ain't no way we're going home
Yeah, so let's go
Yeah, let's go
Ain't no way we're going home
Let's stay on the run forever
Let's go nowhere that we know
Get strange with the stars together
We can do what you wanna do

Ain't no way we're going home
Yeah, so let's go
Yeah, let's go
Ain't no way we're going home
Yeah, so let's go
Yeah, let's go
The lyrics of eleven.five's song The Way We Were describe a sense of euphoria felt by the singer when in the presence of their love interest. They were initially hiding away before they encountered the object of their affection, and now they can't resist being near them. The force field they feel when they're together takes them light years away, far from reality. The singer urges their partner to stay on the run with them and go nowhere they know, to get lost and explore the unknown together. They proclaim that they can do better than just go home, and instead should venture out into the world together.
The song starts in a low-key, almost secretive manner, with the singer referring to themselves as disappearing until seeing their lover's face. As the song progresses, the energy builds, and the lyrics become more urgent, with the singer insisting that they go on an adventure together. The chorus repeats throughout the song, with a sense of urgency and excitement driving it. The singer admits they feel out-of-this-world and implores their lover to join them on this journey into the unknown.
The lyrics of The Way We Were are an ode to the excitement and adventure that can be found in new love. The singer celebrates the feeling of being unbound and free, without any limits, with the person they love. Exploring the unknown together and being lost in each other seems to be the theme throughout the song. It's about the idea of wanting more than the mundane and experiencing the thrill of the unknown.

I was blown away
I was extremely impressed and moved
Busy disappearing 'til I saw your face
I was busy avoiding everything until I met you
In the shadows fearing
I was living in darkness and afraid
Now I can't escape
I can't run away anymore
The force field that we're in got me light years away
The connection between us has taken me to a different dimension
So out of space
I feel like I'm in another world
Without a trace
No one can find us
Let's stay on the run forever
Let's keep moving forward and not stop
Let's go nowhere that we know
Let's explore new places
Get strange with the stars together
Let's do something unique and amazing under the stars
We can do what you wanna do
Let's do whatever you want to do

We can do something even more amazing
Burning air
The atmosphere is popping with excitement
You lit a fire, feel like millionaires
You've made me feel like we have everything we could ever need
Backtop to tires let's get outta here
Let's take off and leave everything behind
And you make it brighter, when you can't see the road
You make everything better, even when things seem uncertain
where does this go?
Where will this journey lead us?
I'm a light
I provide brightness and positivity
You're the bomb
You are impressive, powerful and awesome
We're together
We are connected and united

I add excitement and energy
You're the rock
You are solid and dependable

I create and express through words
You're the song
You embody beauty and melody

British talent Toby Hedges crafted a timeless melodic progressive classic in 2013, in the form of his "The Way We Were" remix. Hypnotic melodies and euphoric background synth elements color the sonic landscape from start to finish; the climactic drop in the song's latter half is gorgeously arranged and simply exhilarating.
