Downtown
evän Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rolling down Pacific Coast Highway
Hoping that you roll my way
Swerving round turn sideways
And we driving round in your driveway
Engine off and we silent
I'm checking on my mileage
And from the look on your eyelids
I'm thinking that I might slide in
One night, moon above
Shining bright so luminous
All I see the two of us
No time to get down I'm moving up
One night, moon above
Shining bright so luminous
All I see the two of us
No time to get down I'm moving up

So be the one downtown when I get it
So be the one in my sites when I'm feeling love
So be the one downtown when I get it

Rolling down Pacific Coast Highway
Hoping that you roll my way
Swerving round turn sideways
And we driving round in your driveway
Engine off and we silent
I'm checking on my mileage
And from the look on your eyelids
I'm thinking that I might slide in

You'll be the one downtown when I get it
You'll be the one in my sites when I'm feeling love
You'll be the one downtown when I get it
So be the one downtown when I get it
You'll be the one in my sites when I'm feeling love
Be the one downtown when I get it
