Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause all this time you've been chasing after me
And though I know that we'll fight
In the middle of the night
Come to me and we'll talk, we'll talk and oh
We won't scream and we won't shout
Because you love me
All my friends they hate you
But they don't even get to know you
And though I know that we'll fight
In the middle of the night
Come to me and we'll talk, we'll talk and oh
We won't scream and we won't shout
Because you love me
I know that this is real
And though i know that we'll fight
In the middle of the night
You'll come to me and we'll talk, we'll talk and oh
We won't scream and we won't shout
Because you love me
I know that this is real

Loved seeing BC live in Minneapolis a few months back. The live show rocks, don't miss it! I'm liking the stuff from the EP better than the album these days. Here's to a killer next album!

I can't wait to see them at a show later this week. They'll be in the midwest/east/canada or something all this next month, check it out!

Holy fuck. This song is convertibles, drunk, powder blue, broken heart, in love, feeling sexy, old friends, high heeled boots, the cities of the world, sleepless nights, brilliance.
Pete Dangerous
