Won't Laugh
Aer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fabricated tales tend to take a while,
I won't laugh if you smile,
To each his own that's my way yeah,
I got tattoos, so people think I'm cool
College? I'm better than school
I smoke pot, s'only thing I do
Why?!
'Cause you hang the same keys from the same hook every afternoon
My angels lookin down upon me from a great view, they got my back but they hate you,
This all seems so crazy, I swear I never imagined this, remember hittin' dank in the '94 Protege, didn't think it happen as fast as this, but that was then and this is now it's a different time and a different sound, saying new things from the same mouth, still a Coch kid in my hometown,
From a thought to a hobby to a full time career, 74th floor in Shanghai when it all came clear,
In the hills or the valley, and were far from the finale, I want this so badly, no I won't let go,
I won't laugh if you smile,
Fabricated tales tend to take a while,
I won't laugh if you smile,
To each his own that's my way, yeah,
Lets meet! I want you to know me, I grew up in the east, on a quiet street, but Im boutta move out and sign a new lease, Cant feel stuck, Expectations, bills and rent, s'all almost a bit too much, but it's money well spent, one hundred percent, I'm someone to trust, I wanna apologize to my old friend for hookin' up w his girlfriend, I don't wanna get denied from a club for the color of my boys skin, but now it's tours, wake me up, interviews, wake me up, I hate when you expect me to pay for ya, got friends that seem to hate me now
I guess that's just the truth of the matter, shouldn't be hard to look down as you're climbing the ladder, I know that we are a difference in the pattern, all your fake talk got me far from flattered
So, run along, run along, I don't wanna see your face here, yeah, don't call it your home, run along, run along, you gon' suck em all dry, run along, run along, 'cause we don't no more.
I won't laugh if you smile,
Fabricated tales tend to take a while,
I won't laugh if you smile,
To each his own that's my way, yeah,
I won't laugh if you smile,
Fabricated tales tend to take a while,
I won't laugh if you smile,
To each his own that's my way, yeah,
Would you be so kind just say it
Would you be so kind just say it
Would you be so kind just say it
Would you be so kind just say it

You have a predictable routine and do not take risks or seek new experiences like I do.
My angels lookin down upon me from a great view, they got my back but they hate you,

This all seems so crazy, I swear I never imagined this, remember hittin' dank in the '94 Protege, didn't think it happen as fast as this, but that was then and this is now it's a different time and a different sound, saying new things from the same mouth, still a Coch kid in my hometown,
My past was drastically different from my current experiences as a successful musician, and although it is unusual, I am grateful for the opportunities.
From a thought to a hobby to a full time career, 74th floor in Shanghai when it all came clear,
My passion has evolved into a profession and it became evident to me while on a high-rise in Shanghai.

I want to introduce myself to you, and despite coming from humble beginnings, I am determined to move onwards and upwards. I have obligations and stresses, but I consider it worth it. I am reliable and trustworthy, but have made mistakes in the past. I do not want to face racial discrimination or financial burdens, and I grew apart from friends who have negative attitudes towards my success.
I guess that's just the truth of the matter, shouldn't be hard to look down as you're climbing the ladder, I know that we are a difference in the pattern, all your fake talk got me far from flattered
It is a fact that I have surpassed others and it should not be difficult to acknowledge. I recognize that we are not alike in terms of lifestyle and personality. I am disappointed by those who are insincere.
So, run along, run along, I don't wanna see your face here, yeah, don't call it your home, run along, run along, you gon' suck em all dry, run along, run along, 'cause we don't no more.
I want you to leave my presence because I do not welcome you, and this place is not yours. Also, stop freeloading and benefiting from the people around you. We are not interested in having you here anymore.
Would you be so kind just say it
Could you please tell me what you are thinking?
Would you be so kind just say it
Could you please communicate your thoughts clearly and honestly?
Would you be so kind just say it
Please speak up and convey your feelings without reservation.
Would you be so kind just say it
It would be polite if you were to express yourself verbally.

This song is so sentimental to me. Living on the beach with the girl who became my fiancé. Surfing at 10am, then breaking into a Holiday Inn pool to clean off.
I thank my lil cousin showing me Aer. Great vibes, great melodies, slick guitar work.

Like LateNight Nessi said, nothing wrong with being "late" to a song. We're over here glad more people are hearing it

Better late than never

This song is what I needed right now. As a musician trying to figure out the plot, after some time, you start to have some doubts. Especially when everyone plays it more conventional and goes through college, gets their degree, and already builds a family before the five-year reunion. Fuck. But don't bow out; you're too far in and ready for it.
But hey, it's just an interpretation.
Aer are officially my go-to Summer tunes this year. So thanks for music I can party to, make love to, and fade to. Much appreciated, guys.
