Send "Radar Detector" Ringtone to Cell

You and I buy star maps and drive my car around Los Angeles
You and I buy star maps and ding dong ditch a televangelist

It's only been a week
But I know that you are mine to keep

You are a radar detector
I drive a thousand miles an hour
I won't go on and on
But you are always looking out for me

You and I go shopping and find exactly what we're looking for
You and I go shopping and fall asleep inside the mattress store.

We cruise the neighborhood
But it's not supposed to feel this good

You are a radar detector

When I'm driving around, you are a radar detector

Send "Radar Detector" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:I totally understand this because it's the relationship i have with my wife. I'm a gemini, an air sign, and like many geminis I'm pretty flighty, erratic, all over the place at 1000 miles an hour. My wife, is a radar detector. She warns me when there's danger ahead or when I'm about to get in trouble (radar detectors detect police radar guns...).

    "I won't go on and on" pretty much means he can't go on at his ridiculous pace.
    "you are always looking out for me" that's what my wife does. my radar detector.

    enjoy

    General Comment:this whole album sounds the same.

    but this song really got to me.

    "We cruise the neighborhood
    But it's not supposed to feel this good"

    story of my life.

    General Comment:I absolutely love this song. I think it's about, like many people have said, two people who have met and really like each other and they are just messing about doing the random things that newly formed couples do. Radar detector I think is a metaphor for someone whose perhaps just walked into a person's life just at the right time...he's the radar (driving around) and she has detected him.
    Did I mention that 'I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG'!!!

    General Comment:This guy's hair a frizzy representation of sex.
    But going on, I like the theme of finding a location, as if this new flame gives him direction. (Radar detector, star maps, driving, looking, finding stuff in a marketplace, aimlessly cruising around town...)

    General Comment:a friend of mine recently showed this guy to me and I love it :D it's just one of those "we just kinda met, but we're really hitting it off and I really like you" kind of songs. anything with heavy bass synth and a nasally voice wins me over haha ;]

    General Comment:I agree :) I don't know if it really has any hugely significant meaning...it sounds just like two people having fun. At most she looks out for him if he starts to spin out of control or something, but yeah I can't wait for summer now! This song makes me want it that much more! Everything about it is so great.
