Jack
kennedy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too many late nights up at dawn
Too many times I done tried to write a fucking love song
And I don't know if I'ma ever send this to you, probably not
But I like to think that I might
Getting sick of wishing tonight
I should be riding with you
But I keep on running
Oh I keep on running away
With summer coming I'm humming Man on the Moon End of Day
Shit someone told me you're never gon' find real love in LA
But maybe one more time
I wanna do something dumb tonight
Nothing new
We ain't gonna be young for life
Sad but true
Even if it ain't love
Could pretend that it was
If we really tried
We could live like Jack and Rose had the water been warmer
Be the Bonnie and Clyde down in California
Fall in love on the run tryna make it to Cabo
Romeo with a blunt Juliette with a bottle
Live like Jack and Rose had the water been warmer
Be the Bonnie and Clyde down in California
Fall in love on the run tryna make it to Cabo
Romeo with a blunt Juliette with a bottle
Maybe I'm looking for reasons to call it a lie
But if the water were freezing would you move to the side
If the twelve had us speeding hundred plus down the five
Would you run aux for the ride
Roll a couple up while I drive
We're going down lets jump I'll lead the way
Let's a take a milli, escape, and change our names
They'll make up theories about how we slipped away
Don't wanna die young for love
Just wanna do something dumb tonight
Nothing new
We ain't gonna be young for life
Sad but true
Even if it ain't love
Could pretend that it was
If we really tried
We could live like Jack and Rose had the water been warmer
Be the Bonnie and Clyde down in California
Fall in love on the run tryna make it to Cabo
Romeo with a blunt Juliette with a bottle
Live like Jack and Rose had the water been warmer
Be the Bonnie and Clyde down in California




Fall in love on the run tryna make it to Cabo
Romeo with a blunt Juliette with a bottle

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kennedy's song, Jack & Rose, narrate the singer's desires to escape reality and experience a passionate love like that of Jack and Rose from the Titanic movie. The singer expresses fondness for his lover, but also apprehension, indicating that he's not sure if he'll ever send the love song he's composed. The song is a mix of emotions that range from yearning, frustration, and uncertainty. The lyrics reflect a sense of urgency- time is running out, and youth isn't permanent; hence, the need to do something wild and impulsive. The song's title is inspired by Jack and Rose's love story from the Titanic movie.


The lyrics create a vivid image of a young couple in California driving down the coast in a convertible, smoking joints and having fun. They are willing to take risks and escape from their normal lives, "fall in love on the run tryna make it to Cabo." They want to live life like outlaws, even if it's just for a night, "we could pretend that it was (love)/if we really tried/We could live like Jack and Rose had the water been warmer." The song implies that the couple wants to experience a deep connection, even if it's short-lived.


Kennedy's lyrics are poetic and capture the millennial generation's relational complexities. The song speaks to the restless spirit of young people who are eager to experience a passionate love. Jack & Rose is a relatable song for anyone who's ever wanted to escape to feel alive.


Line by Line Meaning

Too many late nights up at dawn
I have spent too many sleepless nights thinking about you


Too many times I done tried to write a fucking love song
I have tried and failed to express my love for you through music


And I don't know if I'ma ever send this to you, probably not But I like to think that I might
I may never have the courage to tell you how I feel, but I still imagine doing it


Getting sick of wishing tonight I should be riding with you But I keep on running Oh I keep on running away
I am tired of just wishing to be with you, but I am still running away from my feelings


With summer coming I'm humming Man on the Moon End of Day Shit someone told me you're never gon' find real love in LA
As summer approaches, I listen to music and someone told me that true love is hard to find in Los Angeles


But maybe one more time I wanna do something dumb tonight Nothing new We ain't gonna be young for life Sad but true
I want to take a chance and have a spontaneous night, because we won't be young forever


Even if it ain't love Could pretend that it was If we really tried
Even if our connection isn't love, we could pretend that it is if we put in the effort


We could live like Jack and Rose had the water been warmer Be the Bonnie and Clyde down in California Fall in love on the run tryna make it to Cabo Romeo with a blunt Juliette with a bottle
We could live dangerously and passionately, like the famous couples Jack and Rose, Bonnie and Clyde, and Romeo and Juliette


Maybe I'm looking for reasons to call it a lie But if the water were freezing would you move to the side If the twelve had us speeding hundred plus down the five Would you run aux for the ride Roll a couple up while I drive
I may be hesitant to believe in our connection, but I wonder if you would stand by me even in dangerous or uncomfortable situations


We're going down lets jump I'll lead the way Let's a take a milli, escape, and change our names They'll make up theories about how we slipped away
Let's take the risk of leaving everything behind and starting a new life together, and let the world wonder how we made it happen


Don't wanna die young for love Just wanna do something dumb tonight Nothing new We ain't gonna be young for life Sad but true
I don't want to die just because of my love for you, but I still want to take a chance and have a wild night


Live like Jack and Rose had the water been warmer Be the Bonnie and Clyde down in California Fall in love on the run tryna make it to Cabo Romeo with a blunt Juliette with a bottle
Again, let's live life like the famous couples who lived and loved passionately

@Gazzara5 But experience isn't all that makes someone successful. Mindset, personality, intelligence and heart also plays a big role. What Bentsen is pointing out is that "sure, you may have as much political experience as JFK did when he ran for president, but that doesn't mean you are of the same caliber or that you'll be as successful". It was a valid shutdown since by invoking Kennedy's name, Quayle tried to make voters draw a comparison between them. Just ponder why so many Republicans talk about Reagan and how they will be "like Ronald Reagan" or "the next Reagan".
