Good Time
Acid Dad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's go down to the 7-11 and get a sandwich
There's nothing more magnificent than staying up past 2
Now i know it's late and there's nothing I rather do than stay awake

And say, can I go back again?
Feel a good raise today back again every time
And say, can I go back again
Feel a good raise today, back again every time

Sport aren't a fun thing but team Jax is everything to make me happy
I don't deserve my friends like these
Ya I know it's late and there's nothing I rather do than stay awake

And say, can I go back again?
Feel a good raise today, back again every time




Pray, can i go back again
Feel a good raise today, back again every time
