Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
down at the mere
I saw your hands were playing gently with her hair
I see you and I, in my mirror
I close my eyes and wish that you could be here
it's my fantasy to have you holding me, baby
going privately crazy
do you know what you do with me
[Chrous]
Stay, make my blue moon bright for a change
make my dreams end right
don't stay, afraid
be the one
(yea, eyeyey)
Get out of my head, get into my heart
be for real, are you fictional or real,
I made up this lie, I made up this life
when I'm alone it's like you're right here by my side
it's my fantasy to have you here with me, baby
going privately crazy
if you came I know just what I'd say
Stay, make my blue moon bright for a change
make my world turn right
don't stay, afraid
be the one
(heye, yeyeyeye)
It's my fantasy to have you all to me, baby
I'm going privately crazy
do you know what you do with me
Stay, make my blue moon bright for a change
make my dreams end right
don't stay, afraid
be the one

I saw you last night
I saw you yesterday evening
Down at the mere
Near the lake
I saw your hands were playing gently with her hair
I noticed that you were affectionately touching her hair
I see you and I, in my mirror
I visualized you and me together through the reflection in my mirror
I close my eyes and wish that you could be here
I shut my eyes and long for your presence
It's my fantasy to have you holding me, baby
I daydream about you embracing me, my dear
Going privately crazy
I start feeling insane secretly
Do you know what you do with me
Are you aware of the effect you have on me?
Stay, make my blue moon bright for a change
Stay with me and bring happiness into my life that has lacked it
Make my dreams end right
Make my aspirations culminate in success
Don't stay, afraid
Don't be scared to stay
Be the one
Be the special person in my life
Get out of my head, get into my heart
Stop occupying my thoughts and genuinely connect with me emotionally
Be for real, are you fictional or real
Are you a figment of my imagination or an actual person?
I made up this lie, I made up this life
I invented this falsehood, I fabricated this existence
When I'm alone it's like you're right here by my side
When I'm alone, it feels as if you are physically present with me
If you came I know just what I'd say
If you were to come, I know exactly what I would say
It's my fantasy to have you here with me, baby
I daydream about having you by my side, my dear
Going privately crazy
I start feeling insane secretly
If you came I know just what I'd say
If you were to come, I know exactly what I would say
Stay, make my blue moon bright for a change
Stay with me and bring happiness into my life that has lacked it
Make my dreams end right
Make my aspirations culminate in success
Don't stay, afraid
Don't be scared to stay
Be the one
Be the special person in my life
It's my fantasy to have you all to me, baby
I daydream about having you exclusively for myself, my dear
I'm going privately crazy
I am secretly becoming insane
Do you know what you do with me
Are you aware of the effect you have on me?
Stay, make my blue moon bright for a change
Stay with me and bring happiness into my life that has lacked it
Make my dreams end right
Make my aspirations culminate in success
Don't stay, afraid
Don't be scared to stay
Be the one
Be the special person in my life
