Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics describe a chance encounter on a roller coaster, where the conversation starts casually but the intended serious topics fade into triviality. They discuss a movie they saw before, but can’t calmly share their thoughts. The flow of conversation leads them to a haunted house, where they try to discuss the movie’s impact, but end up overreacting, which is clearly not the right approach. They can’t calmly discuss what they liked about the movie, as the conversation keeps drifting away from the present. Finally, they reach the top of a Ferris wheel and see a beautiful sunset, realizing there’s something special about this moment.
