5 Times Fun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't ever be brave cause you make my heart race
Shot me out of the sky you're my kryptonite
You keep making me weak yeah frozen and can't breathe
Something's gotta give now
Cause i'm dying just to make you see
That i need you here with me now
Cause you've got that one thing
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, i don't, don't know what it is
But i need that one thing and you've got that one thing
Now i'm climbing the walls but you don't notice at all
That i'm going out of my mind all day and all night
Something's gotta give now
Cause i'm dying just to know your name
And i need you here with me now
Cause you've got that one thing
So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, i don't, don't know what it is
But i need that one thing
Get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don't, i don't, don't know what it is
But i need that one thing and you've got that one thing
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
You've got that one thing
Get out, get out, get out of my way
And fall into my arms instead
So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, i don't, don't know what it is
But i need that one thing
Get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don't, i don't, don't know what it is
But i need that one thing and you've got that one thing

I've tried playing it cool but when i'm looking at you
I attempted to mask my true feelings towards you, but they show on my face when I gaze at you
I can't ever be brave cause you make my heart race
You instill such strong emotions in me that I am unable to summon courage
Shot me out of the sky you're my kryptonite
You devastate me and make me powerless like kryptonite to Superman
You keep making me weak yeah frozen and can't breathe
You continually weaken me, causing me to freeze and struggle to take in air
Something's gotta give now
The current state of affairs is untenable and must change
Cause i'm dying just to make you see
My desire to be with you is so strong that it feels as if I am perishing just to get your attention
That i need you here with me now
I am incomplete without you by my side and require your presence immediately
Cause you've got that one thing
You possess a certain charm or quality that captivates me and separates you from others
So get out, get out, get out of my head
You consume my thoughts, and I need to remove you from my mind
And fall into my arms instead
You should come to me, and we can embrace each other lovingly
I don't, i don't, don't know what it is
I am unsure about what makes you so special to me
But i need that one thing and you've got that one thing
Despite my confusion about what sets you apart, I know that I require it and that you possess it
Now i'm climbing the walls but you don't notice at all
I am feeling extremely restless and agitated, but you are not attentive to my needs
That i'm going out of my mind all day and all night
I find myself losing sanity, both during the day and through the night
Cause i'm dying just to know your name
Although I have feelings for you, I don't even know your name but desperately need to
Get out, get out, get out of my way
You are impeding my progress, preventing me from being with you
And come on, come into my life
I am extending an invitation to you to become a part of my life
