i always thought it was someone's plea for a more exciting life. wanting to get out of the small towns and into the big cities. i also thought that the singer didn't know the person they were in the car of, like a hitch hiker, and the 'oh god my chance has come at last' was about losing your virginity in a one night stand with a stranger. i never got the impression it was about real love. i love the way such a strong line as 'there is a light that never goes out' makes me think of tacky neon nightclub signs.
