Street Lights
Emotions on the Open Road
Lyrics
I still remember when you hit me up that Saturday
The singer recalls when they were contacted on a Saturday.
I still remember how you left cold and dry
The memory of a cold and abrupt departure lingers.
And now the streetlights calling
The streetlights symbolize a beckoning or a call.
And I'm going all in
Committing fully to a course of action or relationship.
I got the pedal to the floor and I'm not ever going home
Driving with determination and no intention of returning home.
I'll be in Oklahoma
Specifically mentioning being in Oklahoma, indicating a destination.
Where the roads aren't long enough
Expressing a sense that the current circumstances are insufficient or challenging.
For all the emotions I feel right now for you
Feeling intense emotions that the roads can't accommodate.
You say that you're bored
Addressing the other person's boredom.
So come on over
Inviting the person to come over.
I'm halfway there
Being halfway to a destination or resolution.
You say that it's over
Acknowledging that the relationship is over.
I wasn't prepared
Expressing unpreparedness for the breakup.
There was no closure
Not having proper closure from the ended relationship.
Oh baby tell me it's not over
Pleading for assurance that the relationship is not truly over.
I guess I wasn't enough
Feeling inadequate or not enough in the relationship.
Maybe they found someone
Suspecting the possibility of the other finding someone else.
Tell me was it all fun
Questioning if the relationship was merely for enjoyment.
Or was it something more
Wondering if there was a deeper, meaningful aspect to the relationship.
Either way I guess I'm glad you closed that door
Expressing acceptance of the relationship closure.
And now the streetlights calling
Reiteration of the streetlights as a symbolic call.
And I'm going all in
Recommitting to the course of action or relationship.
I got the pedal to the floor and I'm not ever going home
Continuing the determined drive with no intention of returning home.
I'll be in Oklahoma
Repeating the specific destination of Oklahoma.
Where the roads aren't long enough
Reiterating that the roads are not sufficient for the intense emotions.
For all the emotions I feel right now for you
Emphasizing the depth of emotions for the other person.
You've got these streetlights calling
The other person also has the streetlights calling, implying a shared experience.
And I'm going all in
Both individuals are fully committing to the situation or relationship.
I got the pedal to the floor and I'm not ever gonna make it home
The determination to continue without returning home is maintained.
I'll be in Oklahoma
Reiterating the destination in Oklahoma.
Where the roads aren't long enough
Again, expressing that the roads are not long enough for intense emotions.
For all the emotions I feel right now for you
Reaffirming the profound emotions felt for the other person.
