Lyrics
Street car speeding down the highway
Expressing movement with a street car speeding down the highway.
You know what it's getting away from
Addressing the idea of something escaping or getting away.
Street car going fast through the red light
Describing a street car moving quickly through a red light.
You know what it's getting away from
Reiterating the notion of something escaping or getting away.
Love of my life you know what this is about
Referring to a significant person as the "Love of my life."
Love of my life you know what this is about
Repeating the acknowledgment of the person as the "Love of my life."
Cause I've been thinking about it lately
Reflecting on recent thoughts about whether to keep the person around.
Do I want you around
Pondering the desire or decision to have the person present.
Old memories pop up daily
Mentions the recurrence of old memories, causing emotional distress.
Making me feel down
These memories consistently bring about feelings of sadness.
But I can't tell if it's bad or good
Uncertainty about the nature of the emotions (bad or good).
Will I get any healing from it maybe I should
Questioning if healing will come from these emotions.
Let my guard down low
Considering lowering emotional defenses for potential positive outcomes.
Hoping something could go that way, a bad way
Hoping for a change but fearing negative consequences.
I thought I'd feel better a year ago
Expressing disappointment that time hasn't improved the situation.
But it's the same old shit that I am feeling today
Continued frustration with the persistent negative feelings.
And all our friends aren't together no more
Noting the dissolution of friendships and childhood memories.
Well that's our childhood memories going right down the drain
Acknowledging the loss of nostalgic experiences.
Street car speeding down the highway
Repeating the image of a street car speeding away.
You know what it's getting away from
Reiterating the concept of something escaping.
Street car going fast through the red light
Describing a street car going fast through a red light again.
You know what it's getting away from
Reemphasizing the idea of something getting away.
Love of my life you know what this is about
Reaffirming the significant person as the "Love of my life."
Love of my life you know what this is about
Repeating the acknowledgment of the person as the "Love of my life."
But that's all in the past now baby
Deciding to let go of past issues and emotions.
I should just let it go
Acknowledging the need to move on from the past.
Still a long road ahead now maybe
Acknowledging the challenges and uncertainties ahead.
There'll be room to explore
Remaining optimistic about future opportunities for exploration.
So I've been keeping an open eye
Being cautious and observant without revealing too much.
But I'm never showing too much of
Keeping thoughts guarded and not expressing them openly.
What's on my mind
Ensuring emotional defenses are high in case of disappointment.
Keep my guard up high just in case
Preparedness for potential failure or negative outcomes.
It don't work this time
Acknowledging the possibility that things may not work out.
It's possible that I don't find nothing here
Expressing uncertainty about finding anything significant.
I'd have to move on to some places where I'm not familiar
Contemplating the need to move on to unfamiliar places.
Keep on trying to make use of time
Continuing efforts to make productive use of time.
Street car speeding down the highway
Repeating the imagery of a street car speeding down the highway.
You know what it's getting away from
Reiterating the concept of something escaping.
Street car going fast through the red light
Describing a street car going fast through a red light once more.
You know what it's getting away from
Reemphasizing the idea of something getting away.
Love of my life you know what this is about
Reaffirming the significant person as the "Love of my life."
Love of my life you know what this is about
Repeating the acknowledgment of the person as the "Love of my life."
