Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

29 caught on 35
shutter click lock reload and slide
watch me beaming now a hundred times
play your favorite song a hundred times
we could leave LA and start again
fuck the beamers and the sunsets
watch me screaming out a hundred times
play your favorite back a hundred times
watch me leaving, i can't speak too much
hush me baby, i'm a mess
you still mean something to me
you still mean something to me

hey hoon
i'm always thinkin bout you
you were kicking up sand clouds, holding your heels
haven't ran like that since god knows when
watch me say your name a hundred times
watch me scream your name a hundred times
we don't have to say goodbye right now
don't overthink, come in a bit closer
stop me leaving, i can't get enough
touch me baby, i'm a whole wide mess
you still mean something to me
you still mean something to me
you still mean something to me
yes you do

hey hoon
hey hoon
i can't forget it
and i'll never forget it
did you forget it already
did you forget

i think of you still in the summertime
pretty light stripes in our joyride
you still mean something to me
you still mean something to me
hoon, goodbye was a compromise
hoon, goodbye wasn't justified
you still mean something to me
you still mean something to me
yes you do

do you wanna dance before we pretend we moved on




hey hoon
i wouldn't hesitate for you
