She said let's change our luck
This night is all we've got
Drive fast until we crash
This dead end life
Sweet dreams that won't come true
I'd leave it all for you
Brick walls keep closing in
Let's make a run tonight
Blinded by the lights
Hold you through forever
Never let you go
'Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together
From the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you
On Skyway Avenue
She said don't change your mind
Let's leave this town behind
We'll race right off the cliff
They will remember this
It all got so mundane
With you I'm back again
Just take me by the hand
We're close to the edge
Blinded by the lights
Hold you through forever
Never let you go
''Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together
From the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love'
Cause I would die for you
On Skyway Avenue
Where are your guts to fly
Soaring through, through the night
And if you take that last step
I'll follow you
Leave the edge and fly
We're finally alive
'Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together
From the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you
On Skyway Avenue
So what's left to prove
We have made it through
This night is all we've got
Drive fast until we crash
This dead end life
Sweet dreams that won't come true
I'd leave it all for you
Brick walls keep closing in
Let's make a run tonight
Blinded by the lights
Hold you through forever
Never let you go
'Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together
From the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you
On Skyway Avenue
She said don't change your mind
Let's leave this town behind
We'll race right off the cliff
They will remember this
It all got so mundane
With you I'm back again
Just take me by the hand
We're close to the edge
Blinded by the lights
Hold you through forever
Never let you go
''Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together
From the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love'
Cause I would die for you
On Skyway Avenue
Where are your guts to fly
Soaring through, through the night
And if you take that last step
I'll follow you
Leave the edge and fly
We're finally alive
'Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together
From the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you
On Skyway Avenue
So what's left to prove
We have made it through

"She said let's change our luck..."
This is describing Rose's feelings about being trapped with the same self-centered upper-class snobs for the rest of her life. She just wants a way out.
"Sweet dreams that won't come true, I'd leave it all for you..."
Jack dreams of being a famous artist, but he'd rather do anything for Rose, even though it means he has to risk getting in trouble.
"Cuz if you jump, I will jump too..."
This is obvious. Think about it. It's what Jack said Rose. And then Rose said it later to Jack. It's definitely a repeating theme of Titanic.
"She said don't change your mind, Let's leave this town behind..."
Again, Rose's thoughts of being trapped and wanting out.
"Never looking back at what we've done, we'll say it was love..."
They're willing to just leave what they know because they love each other.
"Where are your guts to fly?"
This is basically Jack saying to Rose, are we in this together or not?
"So what's left to prove, We have made it through."
Even though Jack died, he saved Rose and their love lives on.
I'm sure this might not have been We the Kings' original intent, but you have to admit it fits pretty well... :)
There has been SO many suicides on that bridge, because once you hit the water...it's like cemet. You're dead. I've yet to hear a person who has survived it.
I just...think that if no one wants to see them together, they won't have to. They'll find another way.
Even if that means death.
And Travis sang,
"If you jump, I will jump, too."
Idunno... :/
and nothings going nowhere
daring each other quit
get out of it
with promises to weather it together
i saw it as two people who are in love, but the girl is scared about entering a relationship. no one approved of their relationship and they know that their relationship isnt a healthy one, but they dont care. they're blinded by their love and he is willing to risk everything, including his heart, if she is willing to risk it as well. and he doesnt care what anyone else thinks because he loves her and that's all that matters.
even if it is about suicide i dont want to think about it that way because that morbid meaning would ruin this beautiful song :) but hey...everyone has their opinion
Two outcasts fell in love, and the girl was having suicidal thoughts, but the boy loved her so much that he would do it with her. But they don't, they make it through. :)
No matter how you see it, it's still an amazing song.
I smile every time I hear it, and it's also the song that was playing in my car when I first kissed my current girlfriend
:)
"Drive fast until we crash,
This dead end life."
And then the lines;
"We'll race right off the cliff,
They will remember this."
And then the whole chorus points that way.
"'Cause if you jump
I will jump, too
We will fall together
From the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you
On Skyway Avenue"
