Christopher Sean - Going Nowhere Fast [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

He was dancing on the deck with a harpoon in his hand
She was serving up Captain Jack, I guess you could say on dry land
When his ship came into port, you know what happened next
He asked her for a whiskey sour, which she sweetened with her sex
After the shift, he told her plainly, “This love will never last”

Then they tested that truth at her place
They were going nowhere fast

Meanwhile, in the harbor, the ship was ready to set sail
The boys wondered if he’d found a girl, or else went back to jail
She wouldn’t let him leave, had him wrapped up so tight
The sun broke through the window, but they weren’t done for the night
He had a vision of staying with her, now the flag was at full mast

He had no intention of getting out of bed
They were going nowhere fast

On the dresser, as she was showering, a photo caught his eye
“That man is not her father, who the hell is that guy?”
Then it occurred to him, he’d been in that room before
In another coastal town, hell in a hundred towns or more
But he thought this girl was different, “not like the others in my past”

His mind was sinking in the heart of hope
He was going nowhere fast

Because when he stepped out the door
Or rather, when she threw him out
Saying, “Sorry, I think we were both drunk last night”
The ship had already sailed south
He was standing on a corner
Thumbing cars as they passed -

He was planning to try the big city life
He was going nowhere fast
