*AS: THIS KISS
Carly Rae Jepsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I went out last night
I'm going out tonight again
Anything to capture your attention (your attention)
And she's a real sweet girl
And you know I got a boy
Details we both forgot to mention (forgot to mention)

And you, I always know where you are
And you always know where I am
We're taking it way too far
But I don't want it to end

This kiss is something I can't resist
Your lips are undeniable
This kiss is something I can't risk
Your heart is unreliable
Something so sentimental
You make so detrimental
And I wish it didn't feel like this
'Cause I don't wanna miss this kiss
I don't wanna miss this kiss

You know you're just my type
And your eyes are lock and key, to my heart
Tempting my confession (my confession)
And you're a real hot thing
But you know I've got a boy somewhere
So can you feel the tension? (feel the tension)

And you, I'm dancing to where you are
And you're dancing to where I am
We're taking it way too far
But I don't want it to end

This kiss is something I can't resist
Your lips are undeniable
This kiss is something I can't risk
Your heart is unreliable
Something so sentimental
You make so detrimental
And I wish it didn't feel like this
'Cause I don't wanna miss this kiss

But if you ask me to
I couldn't, I couldn't, I
You're leaning closer and
I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I
But if you ask me to
I couldn't, I couldn't, I
I shouldn't, I shouldn't
I don't wanna miss this kiss

This kiss is something I can't resist
Your lips are undeniable
This kiss is something I can't risk
Your heart is unreliable
Something so sentimental
You make so detrimental
I wish it didn't feel like this
'Cause I don't wanna miss this kiss




I wish it didn't feel like this
I don't wanna miss this kiss

Este Beijo
Eu saí ontem a noite
E irei sair esta noite novamente
Qualquer coisa para capturar sua atenção (sua atenção)
E ela realmente é uma doce garota
E você sabe que eu tenho um menino
Detalhes que ambos esquecemos de mencionar (esquecemos de mencionar)

E você, sempre sei onde você está
E você sempre sabe onde estou
Nós estamos levando isso longe demais
Mas eu não quero que isso acabe

Esse beijo é algo que eu não posso resistir
Seus lábios são inegáveis
Esse beijo é algo que eu não posso arriscar
Seu coração não é confiável
Algumas coisas são sentimentais
E você as faz tão prejudicialmente
E eu desejaria não me sentir assim
Porque eu não quero perder este beijo
Eu não quero perder este beijo

Você sabe que é exatamente o meu tipo
E seus olhos estão trancados á sete chaves, no meu coração
Minha confissão tentadora (minha confissão)
E você é realmente quente
Mas você sabe que eu tenho um menino em algum lugar
Então você pode sentir a tensão? (sentir a tensão)

E você, eu estou dançando para onde você está
E você está dançando para onde eu estou
Nós estamos levando isso longe demais
Mas eu não quero que isso acabe

Esse beijo é algo que eu não posso resistir
Seus lábios são inegáveis
Esse beijo é algo que eu não posso arriscar
Seu coração não é confiável
Algumas coisas são sentimentais
E você as faz tão prejudicialmente
E eu desejaria não me sentir assim
Porque eu não quero perder este beijo

Mas se você me pedir para
Eu não poderia, eu não poderia, eu...
Você está se aproximando e
Eu não deveria, eu não deveria...
Mas se você me pedir para
Eu não poderia, eu não poderia, eu...
Você está se aproximando e
Eu não deveria, eu não deveria...

Esse beijo é algo que eu não posso resistir
Seus lábios são inegáveis
Esse beijo é algo que eu não posso arriscar
Seu coração não é confiável
Algumas coisas são sentimentais
E você as faz tão prejudicialmente
E eu desejaria não me sentir assim
Porque eu não quero perder este beijo

Eu gostaria de não me sentir assim
Eu não quero perder esse beijo

Summer 2012 this song was on every radio show and music channel on TV in my country (Namibia, Africa).
I remember cleaning the house with this song on max with my bleach blond hair with the sides shaved off, just graduated from high school and ready for the great big world.
And now I'm 26, a mom, in my 3rd year at uni (dropped out a few times), just started my own business and trying to work on my summer body while on a 21 day corona virus lock down.




How I wish it was 2012 again.....

@denji5368

2012 was a great year. Wish we could turn back time.

@albabyahya

damn miss that year

@lovatosharmoblink6527

Girl me too. 2012 was one of the greatest years of my life so far.

@joeydoherty368

Bayek One of the best years for sure. I loved my life 2011-2013 in my early teenage years. Which it could be that way forever.

The world becomes less exciting when we grow up. I wish I could be a kid all over again. I miss the simpler days
