Dragonette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's typical, another game of push and pull
There's nothing wrong, but there is something going on
You float away, a little further everyday
I'm looking at the stars and you're looking out at empty space

Sometimes, sometimes it comes in the dark
Swimming inside your head, sinking into your heart
I'm looking for another sign, you'll shake it off your mind
Where you been all this time, you kiss different

Hey now, don't be funny
Ha ha, you're acting funny
Come back, where are you gone
This girl thinks you've been somewhere else too long
Where's Mr. Sunny
Hands up, give me the money
And I'm not laughing but this funny stuff is just hilarious

Just stop the clock, and look around at what you've got
Everyone comes a little undone, but it's better than you thought
Time, times gone ticking by, pinch me I'm still alive , give me just a little smile
Give me a sign, you'll shake it off of your mind
Where you been all this time, baby you've been so different

Hey now, don't be funny
Ha ha, you're acting funny
Come back, where are you gone
This girl thinks you've been somewhere else too long
Where's Mr. Sunny
Hands up, give me the money
And I'm not laughing but this funny stuff is just hilarious

I find myself imagining it sometimes
The two of us on a roller coaster ride
Sooner or later if we run off the track
We'll get it back don't ever doubt it
So why not forget about it

Hey now, don't be funny
Ha ha, you're acting funny
Come back, where are you gone
This girl thinks you've been somewhere else too long
Where's Mr. Sunny




Hands up give me the money
And I'm not laughing but this funny stuff is just hilarious

I believe we can regain our connection if we work together and don't give up hope.


So why not forget about it
Let's move past whatever is causing this distance and focus on moving forward together.
