Best of 2013 Mash-Up
Anthem Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make me wanna roll my
Windows down and cruise
In the beginning
I never thought it would be you
When we were chillin' and
Smiling in the photobooth we got closer
And coming over and we
Would talk all afternoon
And it's dark in a cold December
I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken, I will mend you
And I'll keep you sheltered from
The storm that's raging on
Tonight take me to the other side
Sparks fly like the Fourth of July
Just take me to the other side
I see that sexy look in your eyes
And I know we ain't friends anymore
If we walk down this road
We'll be lovers for sure
So tonight kiss me like it's do or die
And take me to the other side
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I just wanna know you
Better, know you better, know you better now
I just wanna know you
Better, know you better, know you better now
I really wanna love somebody
I really wanna dance the night away
I know we're only half way there
But you take me all the way
You take me all the way
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy
If our love's insanity
Why are you my clarity
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
It makes me feel like I
Can't live without you
It takes me all the way i want you to stay
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy
(I want you to stay) if our love's insanity
Why are you my clarity (I want you to stay)
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow, whaddya say
I need your love (If our love is tragedy)
I really wanna love somebody
I need your love (If our love's insanity)
I really wanna love somebody
Na na na na na na na, hey hey hey
Na na na na na na na
Hey hey hey hey Anthem Lights
Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night
We'll fight 'til it's over
So we put our hands up like
The ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us
Can we go back, this is the moment
Tonight is the night
We'll fight 'til it's over
So we put our hands up like
The ceiling can't hold us
Like the ceiling can't hold us

Can we go back, this is the moment
Can we revisit a special moment from our past?
Tonight is the night
Tonight is the perfect time for us to make a significant memory
We'll fight 'til it's over
We'll persevere and keep going until the end
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
We raise our hands in celebration and defiance, believing that nothing can hold us back
Can we go back, this is the moment
Can we return to that special moment from our past?
Tonight is the night
Tonight is the perfect time for us to create a lasting memory
We'll fight 'til it's over
We'll continue to persevere until we reach our goals
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
We raise our hands in celebration and determination, believing that nothing can restrain us

I miss when their mashups were actually mashups and not just a bunch of songs crammed into 4 minutes. This one still gives me chills.
