songs from the 90s
Timeless Love in the Fast Lane: John Winters' 90s Adventure
Lyrics
I met you at 18
I first encountered you when I was 18 years old
We took the bus to both our jobs
We commuted together on the bus to our respective jobs
Back when life was a day dream
Life at that time seemed like a beautiful daydream
Where we couldn't do no wrong
We felt invincible, incapable of making mistakes
Its crazy how soon,
Time seems to pass quickly when we are together
Time flies when I'm with you
Expressing the swiftness of time spent in each other's company
Cos now we're both in our twenties
We have now entered our twenties
You bought a car and I did too
Both of us have acquired cars
And now we're driving 180
We are driving at a high speed of 180, enjoying scenic views
Past the guardsand scenic views
Speeding past guards and enjoying the beauty of the surroundings
Its almost too good
Expressing disbelief at the goodness of the current situation
Too good to be true
Wondering if it's too good to be true
So I'll cut off the brakes and I'll cover my eyes
Metaphorically describing taking risks in love by cutting off brakes
Cos I know I'm in love for the rest of my life
Confidently declaring everlasting love
Got my feet on the dash and you're passenger side
Relaxing together in the car, singing songs from the 90s
Singing songs from the 90s when we weren't even alive
Sharing a nostalgic moment, despite not being alive in the 90s
With you, its different
Highlighting the uniqueness of the relationship
Its you that I'm missing, right now, now, now, oh-woah-oh
Expressing the current feeling of missing the partner
Living life in the fast lane
Living life at a fast pace
You got your seat on full recline
Your seat is fully reclined, indicating a carefree attitude
You'd swear the road was a one way
Feeling like the road is one-way, and the world is passing by
And the world was just passing by
Describing the fast-paced movement and surroundings
With how we're moving,
Continuing to describe the high-speed journey
The speakers loud, your hands are out the window, I'd say calm down
Advising to calm down as the excitement rises
While you scream the words to:
The music is loud, hands out the window, expressing enthusiasm
''no I don't want no scrubs'' and ''I want it that way''
Recalling singing popular 90s songs together
Thinking about the times when we used to both say:
Reflecting on past conversations about settling down
You think we'll ever settle down, and both live life without no doubts
Fast-forwarding to the current stage of the relationship
Fast forward to where we are now
Presenting the current state of the relationship
And I'll cut off the brakes and I'll cover my eyes
Repeating the metaphor of taking risks in love
Cos I know I'm in love for the rest of my life
Reaffirming the commitment to lifelong love
Got my feet on the dash and you're passenger side
Repeating the scene of relaxing in the car and singing 90s songs
Singing songs from the 90s when we weren't even alive
Reiterating the shared nostalgia despite not living in the 90s
With you, its different
Emphasizing the distinctiveness of the relationship
Its you that I'm missing, right now, now, now, oh-woah-oh
Reiterating the feeling of missing the partner
Cut off the brakes and I'll cover my eyes, said I'll
Repeating the metaphor of taking risks and covering eyes
Cut off the brakes and I'll cover my eyes, said I'll
Continuing to express the willingness to take risks in love
Cut off the brakes and I'll cover my eyes, said I'll
Reiterating the theme of risking everything for love
Cut off the brakes and I'll cover my eyes, said I'll
Continuing to express the commitment to love despite uncertainties
With you, it's different
Stressing the uniqueness of the relationship
With you, it's so different
Repeating the idea that being with the partner is different
It's you, that I'm missing
Emphasizing that the partner is missed
It's you, that I'm missing
Reiterating the sentiment that the partner is missed
