Contagious Lyrics

I'm flying down the fast lane
Doing ninety-five
Ninety things on my brain
Don't know where the hell I'm going
But I'm going after you

I'm jumping on the last train
Got this crazy kind of feeling that I can't explain
Don't know where the hell I'm going
But I'm going after you

And I know you think I'm crazy
And I dress up like I'm poor
I don't do dinner and movies
But if I showed up at your door

Would you give me one more minute?
The story's far from finished
We could fill in all pages
I'm feeling sick
Girl, you're so contagious
Just wanna say I miss you
I caught it when I kissed you
And I've been through all the stages
I'm feeling sick
Girl, you're so contagious
I'm feeling sick
Girl, you're so contagious

It was raining on Wednesday
Doing ninety-five
Ninety things left to say
Told myself to keep on driving
'Cause I left my heart with you

I never thought that I could walk away
Every second, I'm regretting that I didn't stay
How can I just keep on driving
When I left my heart with you?

You think all my friends are crazy
And I know you hate my car
Well, I don't drive a Mercedes
Would it be that hard

To just give me one more minute
The story's far from finished
We could fill in all pages
I'm feeling sick
Girl, you're so contagious
Just wanna say I miss you
I caught it when I kissed you
And I've been through all the stages
I'm feeling sick
Girl, you're so contagious
I'm feeling sick
Girl, you're so contagious

How can I not get a second chance?
Don't want you slippin' out my hands
Maybe the words would come out right
This time around
(Does this sound contagious?)
Just hear me out before I go
Things that I wanted you to know
Just let me in tonight
And I won't let you go
(Does this sound contagious?)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The intro is identical to "High School Never Ends" by Bowling For Soup.

It’s about this guy who’s just broken up with his girlfriend, even though he still loved her because they had their differences. So he tells himself to move on and just let her go but then he misses her too much and regrets the decision he made. So he realises he can’t move on because he’s in love with this girl and he doesn’t know why or what it is but he needs to get back with her and make things right. He just has this feeling that he needs to be with her, so he goes back and begs for another chance, to make it up to her because now he can see how much she really means to him. He knows that if they can just work it out, they can be together for so long because he knows they’re not ready to let each other go and they have so much more time to be together. He tells her to just hear him out for a minute so he can make it up to her because he doesn’t want to lose her again.

Really sweet song, about someone who just can’t get enough of someone else. He’s so deeply in love that he can’t do anything about it, he has no control, it’s contagious. ‘Just wanna say I missed you / I caught it when I kissed you’. Such sweet, passionate lyrics. Love it [=

"The story's far from finished We could fill in all pages"

Something tells him that its not over yet, and theres such much things he still wants to do. Nice upbeat song that shows the feeling of confidence when taking the risk

This song speaks the truth about letting someone go too fast and regreting it. This song is about loving someone so much you'll do anything to get them back. This song is about trying to finish story they started. i love itt. <33
