Lyrics
Whatever happened to drive in theaters
Expressing nostalgia for drive-in theaters, reminiscing about past experiences.
And the letters that you said you’d write
Referencing unfulfilled promises or commitments to correspond through letters.
Darling I like you because and I love you despite
Admiration and affection for someone despite their flaws or qualities.
Can you delicately reassure me honey
Requesting gentle reassurance or comfort from a partner.
Cause young and naive
Highlighting youthful inexperience or innocence.
Everyone’s taking less to heart
People are taking things less seriously or deeply.
Oh honestly it’s like
Expressing honesty about the struggle of aiming high or for unreachable goals.
I’m fighting for the stars
Feeling like striving for something unattainable, possibly related to dreams or aspirations.
Oh it’s sad to say
Regretting the change in perspectives towards love.
That no one looks at love the same way
Observing a shift in societal attitudes or beliefs regarding love.
And it’s sad to say
Expressing sadness about being a part of a generation facing heartbreak.
That I’m a part of generation heartbreak
Identifying with a generation experiencing heartbreak in relationships.
And I wanna love the old way
Longing to experience love in a manner reminiscent of the past.
Whatever happened to picnics by the lake
Missing simple, intimate moments like picnics by the lake.
And coffee till mid day, when we talked face-to-face
Recalling unhurried conversations over coffee in person.
When those three little words meant more than a touch
Emphasizing the significance of words in the context of love.
But it’s not, not like the movies, now everything’s rushed
Noting the disparity between real-life experiences and idealized portrayals in movies.
Cause it’s sad to say
Reiterating the change in perceptions of love.
That no one looks at love the same way
Highlighting the altered viewpoints or attitudes toward love.
And it’s sad to say
Expressing sorrow about being part of a generation experiencing heartbreak.
That I’m a part of generation heartbreak
Continuing to identify with a generation facing heartbreak in relationships.
And I wanna love the old way
Expressing a desire to experience love in a traditional or older fashion.
It’s sad to say
Repeating the observation about changed perceptions of love.
That no one looks at love the same way
Continuing to highlight the shift in attitudes toward love.
And it’s sad, oh it’s sad to say
Expressing deep sadness about belonging to a generation facing heartbreak.
That I’m a part of generation heartbreak
Reaffirming identification with a generation experiencing heartbreak in relationships.
And I wanna love the old way
Expressing a longing for a more traditional approach to love.
I’d tie a lasso around the moon
Symbolic gesture of going to great lengths to fulfill someone's desires.
And I’d bring it down for you
Expressing extreme dedication or willingness to do anything for a loved one.
