Move
Friends and Romans Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was talking to myself you know,
to figure out if I was fine.
And I know how much you’d love to keep on talking and talking all the time
Oh why?
Can’t we move on and just love us?
So it’s true, you’re leaving,
there’s no coming back
there’s nothing here to harvest, for you.

But I was wondering to myself you know,
how’s your mum? She alright ?
And I know how much she’d love to keep on talking and talking all the time,

oh why?
Can’t we move on and just love us?
