The sun is up
I'm so happy I could scream!
And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than here with you
It's perfect
It's all I ever wanted
I almost can't believe that it's for real

I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile
And a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
Birds sing we swing
Clouds drift by and everything is like a dream
It's everything I wished

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again?
I know we should!!!

The sun is up
I'm so fizzy I could burst!
You wet through and me headfirst
Into this is perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Ow! It feels so big it almost hurts!

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more?
I know we should!!!
Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
It will always be like this
Forever and ever and ever

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time?
I know that we should!!!

    General Comment:In answer to Michelle Belle's comment, I would think that Mint Car does not necessarily refer to the flavour.

    I always thought that it was meant as "new car" with "mint" used in the sense of new.

    His perfect love is like a brand new car...when you first begin a relationship everything is new and beautiful. Then the "new car smell (a.k.a. excitement) goes away and you start to notice the things you don't like.

    The car aspect could also plainly be interpreted as the two lovers spending a good time in a car, frolicking until the sun comes up.. ;)

    General Comment:So I guess this song is kind of the other side of the coin to Siamese Twins? :P

    Except this time Robbie's actually in love, which makes all the difference I suppose.

    General Comment:I'm in AP English at school and we discussed this song in class. We think it's called Mint Car because it's talking about all kinds of different flavors. Such as "vanilla smile" and "strawberry kiss" so "mint" flowed along with the idea.

    It made sense to us.
    This song is super amaaazing. It's so happy and upbeat. I adore this song.

    General Comment:To be honest, I kind of see this song as being sad.

    I mean, obviously he's feeling happy during the song. But this:

    "Say it will always be like this
    the two of us together
    It will always be like this,
    forever and ever and ever..."

    It seems like he wants the feeling to go on forever, but it won't. Again, this is only what the song means to me, it probably didn't mean that when Robert Smith wrote it, but I think too many people on this website concentrate too much on trying to decipher what the song meant to the artist(s) who wrote/performed it, as opposed to just looking at what it means to you. Songs can have a lot of different meanings, imo.
