Crash Romeo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've seen the lives that we let becoming trends
But I wasn't cool back then
What's here today may fade away
Maybe it's too soon to say
It's time for us to take it away
They say you're popular
And I don't care, who you are
'Cause you're never gonna be popular again
I can say it and say it again
But it's just a nightmare and life's just not fair
Will this ever end?
Wherever I go I still feel like a joke
20 Free, I don't see
The heaven allibi's
Where you been, who you did
Seems to get you by
I'm still waiting for bigger and better things
And I wouldn't have it any other way
Popular
I don't wanna see your face again
I don't care who you are
'Cause you're never gonna be popular again
You must feel so helpless
Stuck in a wet spot around your head
Wonder if you feel useless
And you'll never know how it feels to be popular
They say he's popular
They say she's popular
They say you're popular
They say you're popular
I don't wanna see your face again
And I don't care who you are
'Cause you're never gonna be popular again
They say you're popular
They say you're popular
They say you're popular
Popular again
