Lyrics
Countin’ cars on the 101
Counting cars on the 101
Don’t wanna leave don’t wanna run
Expressing reluctance to leave or run away
But if my winning streak is done
Questioning if a winning streak is over
Wanna know if you’re with me
Desiring to know if someone is supportive
Wanna know if you’re gone, oh
Expressing uncertainty about someone's presence or absence
If I could I would search the ocean wide
Desire to search the vast ocean if possible
To find it
Searching for something
I feel it closin’ in on every side
Feeling pressure closing in from all sides
We fight it
Fighting against the pressure
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Repetition for emphasis on the desire to be released
Let me out, let me out, let me out
-I’m feelin’ landlocked got me all surrounded
Feeling trapped and surrounded
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Repetition emphasizing the desire to be released
The steady sound the crowded lights
Describing the sounds and lights in a crowded place
The heartbeat movin’ through the night
Highlighting the heartbeat moving through the night
As long as something’s still alive
Desire for something to remain alive
Wanna know if you’re with me
Wanting to know if someone is still supportive
Wanna know if you’re mine, oh
Expressing a desire to know if someone is still theirs
If I could I would search the ocean wide
Reiterating the desire to search the ocean
To find it
Reiterating the act of searching
I feel it closin’ in on every side
Reiterating the feeling of pressure closing in
We fight it
Reiterating the act of fighting against the pressure
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Repetition for emphasis on the desire to be released
Let me out, let me out, let me out
-I’m feelin’ landlocked got me all surrounded
Reiterating the feeling of being surrounded and trapped
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Repetition emphasizing the strong desire to be released
