Breaking Into Cars Lyrics

Can I beat 'em now
Can I get your love
Can I beat 'em now
Can I get your love
Don't you realize
I long for your lips
Don't you realize
I long for your lips

Let me out of here
Let me out of here

You drive me round and round
You drive me round and round
Until I crash into the stars
You take me for a spin
You take me for a spin
Until I crash into the stars
I'm breaking into cars
I'm breaking into cars

Can I beat 'em now
Can I get your love
Can I beat 'em now
Can I get your love
You keep ignoring me
And the teardrops fall
You keep ignoring me
And the teardrops fall

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.

Cover art for Breaking Into Cars lyrics by Raveonettes, The

I think the beginning of the song is about a crush the person has on someone else. The person wants to beat everyone else at catching the other person's attention. I think the middle of the song is about their relationship - the fireworks the person feels, the excitement, or in this case "crash into the stars." The ignoring/teardrops part of the song is about the end of the relationship. The other person is no longer interested in them.

I'm not sure what "I'm breaking into cars" is supposed to mean.

OR the entire song could be about a crush on a person.
