Lyrics and their Meaning:

Take me back to the middle of nowhere

We're on a roadtrip! I want to be in the middle of nowhere with you!

Back to the place only you and I share

It's just us two alone and it's become special to us

Remember all the memories?

We've got so many memories here

The fireflies and make-believe

From when we were young, up until now

Kicking back in the old school yard

Self explanatory

Singing songs on our guitars

This references the good ol' days when we performed on our guitars with no people watching whatsoever 

This is our reality

This ain't fake, we are actually living this!

Crazy stupid, you and me

Self explanatory

We know this is the way it's supposed to be

This feels right, I think we are soulmates 

So we're taking the long way home

Let's take a different route home...

'Cause I don't wanna be wasting my time alone

So we can spend some extra time together

I wanna get lost and drive forever with you

I don't care if we are lost, just drive!

Talking 'bout nothing, yeah, whatever, baby

Rambling on about stupid crap and getting into petty arguments.

Now we're stuck in the middle of nowhere

There's nothing around us, that makes us stuck!

Yeah, you know we took our time to get there

Hours upon hours have been spent to get to this place

We're hiding out in a dream

This is something that you would find in one of our dreams


And you know I'd never let you down

Self explanatory

'Til the sun comes up, we can own this town

There's no one around, we can make some mischief 

Something like make-believe

Are you sure this is real?

Living in a movie scene

Are we in a movie?

Hitting every red light

Waiting at the red lights

Kissing at the stop signs, darling

Self explanatory

Green Day's on the radio

I wanna listen to Green Day (😉😉)

And everything's alright

Self explanatory

Now we're turning off the headlights, darling

We just want to drive dangerously!

We're just taking it slow

But we need to take it slow!

Favourite Lyric: 'Kicking back in the old schoolyard, playing songs on our guitar'

Yay or Nay: Total YAY!

What It Reminds Me Of: The feeling of coming closer to someone is represented in this song. Usually people become closer on a road trip (or long way home) because they have plenty of time to talk. This song reminds me of all the conversations I've ever had with someone on a road trip.
