Anna Sun
Walk the Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Screen falling off the door, door hanging off the hinges
My feet are still sore my back's on the fringes
We tore up the walls we slept on couches
We lifted this house, we lifted this house

Firecrackers in the east my car parked south
Your hands on my cheeks, your shoulder in my mouth
I was up against the wall on the west mezzanine
We rattle this town, we rattle this scene

Oh, Anna Sun
Oh, Anna Sun

What do you know? This house is falling apart
What can I say? This house is falling apart
We got no money, but we got heart
We're gonna rattle this ghost town
This house is falling apart

Screen falling off the door, door hanging off the hinges
My feet are still sore my back's on the fringes
We were up against the wall on the west mezzanine
We rattle this town, we rattle this scene

Oh, Anna Sun
Oh, Anna Sun

What do you know? This house is falling apart
What can I say? This house is falling apart
We got no money, but we got heart
We're gonna rattle this ghost town

What do you know? This house is falling apart
What can I say? This house is falling apart
We got no money, but we got heart
We're gonna rattle this ghost town
This house is falling apart

This house is falling apart

Live my life without
Station wagon rides
Fumbling around the back
Not one seat belt on
Wait for summertime
Coming up for air
Now it's all a wash
Now it's all a wash

(Screen falling off the door)
(Door hanging off the hinges) Live my life without
(My feet are still)
(Sore my back's on the fringes) coming up for air
(We tore up the walls)
(We slept on couches) now it's all a wash
(We lifted this house)
(We lifted this house) I want everyone
(Firecrackers in the east)
(My car parked south) racing down the hill
(Your hands on my cheeks)
(Your shoulder in my mouth) I am faster than you
(I was up against the wall)
(On the west mezzanine) wait for summertime
(We rattle this town) wait for summertime

Oh, Anna Sun
Oh, Anna Sun, Sun

What do you know? This house is falling apart
What can I say? This house is falling apart
We got no money, but we got heart
We're gonna rattle this ghost town

What do you know? This house is falling apart
What can I say? This house is falling apart
We got no money, but we got heart
We're gonna rattle this ghost town

This house is falling apart
This house is falling apart
This house is falling apart

(We lifted this house)
(We lifted this house)
We're gonna rattle this ghost town

This house is falling apart
This house is falling apart

Screen falling off the door door hanging off the hinges my
Feet are still sore my back is on the fringes
We tore up the walls we slept on couches
We lifted this house we lifted this house

Fire-crackers in the east my car parked south

We rattle this town, we rattle this scene

O, Anna Sun

We got no money, but we got heart

Racing down the hill

10 years later, still on repeat. One of the finest indie songs ever made.

@jumpstylerqim

Can't believe it's been 10 years.

@coinzphilly

TRUTH FOR LIFE

@Axhol3Rose

One of the best GAP songs ever

@natecallens

​@Haqimharris right?! I would've guessed about 8 years. But that's when everyone else finally found out about this awesome band (when "Shut Up And Dance With Me" came out). I can't believe THAT came out that long ago! Damn...

@jengarcia6957

Truly one of the Best Indie Rock Songs Ever Written. So Authentic.

@youtubesentmehetr1088

Hahahaha no nooo not even close

@star.ki2k

@Youtube Sentmehetr It's their opinion.

@Alex-se3uy

Honestly, I agree. Authentic is such a sincere & accurate way to say it. Maybe not my favorite indie song but perhaps the most authentic.
