This song is about a male and his female friend, who decide to go out and have some fun on a Friday night and “get away from it all”. It is unclear if they actually do “make love on the freeway”.

The male is seemingly teased and tempted by some actions of the female, and it is apparent by his reactions that he is enjoying her attention, but would prefer to take it slow instead of going forward.

He’s a bit conflicted, it sounds in some lines as if he likes her, and in the end, seems like he pushes her away and goes back to being on his own.
