Speeding Cars Lyrics

So if I stand in front of a speeding car
Would you tell me who you are, what you like?
What's on your mind, if I'd get it right?
How I love that no one knows
And these secrets all that we've got so far
The demons in the dark, lie again
Play pretends like it never ends
This way no one has to know

Even the half smile would have slowed down the time
If I could call you half mine
Maybe this is the safest way to go
We're singing
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt
We're singing
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
You go back to him and then I'll go back to her

So if I stand in front of a speeding car
Would you give your little heart?
Say the word?
Due to just me and you
This way everyone will know
'Cause these secrets all that we've got so far
The demons in the dark, lie again
Play pretends like it never ends
This way no one has to know

Even the half smile would have slowed down the time
If I could call you half mine
Maybe this is the safest way to go
We're singing
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt
We're singing
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
You go back to him and then I'll go back to her

So if I stand in front of a speeding car
Would you tell me who you are, what you like?
What's on your mind, if I'd get it right?
How I love that no one knows
These secrets all that we've got so far
The demons in the dark, lie again
Play pretends like it never ends
How I love that no one knows

Advertise my secret
I don't really need it
I know you can feel this
So advertise my secret
I don't really need it
I know you can feel this
So advertise my
Advertise my secret

We're singing
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt
We're singing
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
You go back to him and then I'll go back to her

If I stand in front of a speeding car
Don't know who you are
Don't know who you are
Heya heya heya heya
Heya, heya heya
You go back to him and then I'll go back to her

I am Dutch, so maybe I get this song wrong because of my lack of English

I think it is about a secret relationship,(although they both have a partner) and deep down inside him he wants it to come out in the open. He is asking her what she would choose I she had to, hoping she wouold choose him over her partner.

Am I correct?

My Interpretation

@tad67 it is your interpretation so it could very easily be "correct". I think your interpretation fits the narrative of the song, but hopefully others come on here and post their interpretations too.

I think they are in a relationship that neither of them actually enjoys, more as an image to the outside world. They'd both rather go back to the previous relationship that they ran from. The first sentence shows this I think: would we even be honest to each other in the end or would we keep lying to each other and ourselves.
