505 Lyrics
If it's a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs,
Stop and wait a sec,
Oh when you look at me like that my darling,
What did you...

#1 top rated interpretation:From Urban dictionary:
TOP DEFINITION
505
Pronounced Five-Oh-Five. The thing which is simultaneously keeping you alive and killing you, often used to describe a person who you're in love with (but who may be bad for you).
I knew he was bad for me but I kept coming back... I needed him. He was my 505. -

#2 top rated interpretation:I think this could be about this guy, completely in love with a girl, or so he thought. he loves her, just maybe no longer in a romantic way. almost back and forth on it, because it pains him to see her crying, but at the same time doesn't know if her touch gives him the feeling it used to. "I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck, or I did last time I checked..." he's conflicted, and maybe he's going back to an apartment room number #505, to tell his girlfriend he can no longer be with her.

#3 top rated interpretation:It is basically about Alex turner meeting his girlfriend in the hotel room 505. "It was the first proper love song we've made", Alex Turner.
Or
About a long distance relationship. -
I did some research,and 505 means a happy place were your relation is perfect and everything is great. now he's singing
"I'm going back to 505, if it's a 7 hour flight....."
So their relation is falling apart and he wants to go back to their 505.
"I'd probaly still adore you with your hands around my neck oh i did last time i checked"
He is obviosly bringing up memories from their 505 and has still feelings for this girl but since they're falling apart he would do anything to go back to their 505.
a romance that after time turned into a one side love story... -
The thing which is simultaneously keeping you alive and killing you, often used to describe a person who you're in love with (but who may be bad for you).
-
505 strikes me as a motel room where two long distance lovers meet after a while
The singer leaves and wishes or decides he wants to go back to 505 to be with his lover for longer.
He imagines meeting them, just as he left them “with your hands between your tighs” -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
505 means positive change, so theyre going back to their old positive ways, or starting to go backto making new positive changes
-
505 < SOS < Save Our Souls < Save, o Savior
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

Maybe there is a refernce to area code 505 which is central or northern New Mexico which would fit with the "7 hour flight or 45 minute drive".
