What They Mean

Little boy in the back seat asking
Why do all these songs keep saying
Baby, you're driving me crazy
Why do they always say that same thing?

I said you won't know what it means until
You're sixteen and you're driving around
Feeling free with your favorite girl
On the bench seat
Trying to speak louder than your heartbeat
And you're working hard to get it right
'Cause thinking about her got you up all night
Because she drives you wild with a single smile
She's so fine you're going out of your mind
And that'll all make sense someday

That's what they mean when they say crazy
That's what they mean when they say crazy

How 'bout when they talk about heartbreak
Somebody's always leaving
And you just can't get them back
Tell me, have you ever felt like that?

I said it happened to me when I was eighteen
Helping her pack for the Ivy League
And I watched the car drive away
Loved her too much to ask her to stay
And my friends said, you're gonna be alright
But thinking about her kept me up all night
So I called her up a thousand times
Well, she must've thought
I was out of my mind
And you're probably gonna feel that way someday

That's what they mean when they say heartbreak
That's what they mean when they say heartbreak
That's what they mean when they say crazy

I know you didn't ask, but at twenty-two
I found the one and I just knew
I bought a ring, she said I do
We settled down then had you
And everyday just keeps on getting better
Growing old together

That's what they mean when they say forever
That's what they mean when they say forever

That's what they mean when they say crazy
That's what they mean when they say crazy
That's what they mean when they say crazy
