Laura
Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling kinda bored and uninspired
Writing thinly veiled fiction for the soul
And feeling like a liar
I’ve been thinking about you, Laura
And thinking about the songs that you sing
And how you sang with such conviction
I almost forgot they weren’t for me
And I know you’re from another planet
And you’re crazy as a loon
But it’s too cold down here on Earth
To go up on the roof
But I’ll feel a little less alone
When I’m sitting in my room
Writing songs about you
Well I’ve been lying in this bed
Trying once again to find my muse
But if we’re only gonna die
Or worse get middle aged
Then what’s the use?
Still I remember what you said
How it’d be when you were dead and gone
And you are and here I am
Living proof that someone’s world
Had carried on
And I know you’re from another planet
And you’re crazy as a loon
But it’s too cold down here on Earth
To go up on the roof
But I’ll feel a little less alone
When I’m sitting in my room
Writing songs about you

Where did it start?
What caused the rift between us?
We used to be friends
We had a friendship in the past
Now when I run into you
I pretend I don't see you, I know that you hate me
When I see you, I ignore you because I can sense your hate towards me
I've tried to be tough
I've tried to act strong
I've tried to be mean
I've attempted to be rude or cruel towards you
I don't want to be like this
I don't want our relationship to be like this
And I hope that you listen, all I'm trying to say is
I hope you hear me, because all I want to say is
Reach out and touch me, I'm right here
Let's communicate and connect, I'm available
And I don't want to fight anymore
I want to resolve our issues and stop arguing
I really wanna be your friend forever
I genuinely desire to be your friend for life
Friend until the end of it all
Our friendship will endure to the very end
I know I've made mistakes
I'm aware I've done wrong things
But I'm asking you give me a break
But please grant me some leniency
You've been a bitch
You've acted unpleasantly towards me
I've been an ass
I've behaved foolishly or rudely
I don't want to point the finger
I don't want to assign blame
I just know I don't like it, I don't wanna do this
I simply dislike this situation, and I want to end it
What can I do?
What actions can I take to reconcile with you?
Is it too late?
Is it too far gone to salvage our friendship?
I just want to say I'm sorry
I want to express my regret and apologize
Laura, baby, I'm right here
Hey Laura, I'm available to talk
But I'm asking you to give me a break
However, I humbly ask for your forgiveness
Friends forever
Our friendship will be forever

Christopher looks a lot like Ryan Gosling sometimes. They both have that jaded European look..gaunt with droopy eyes and fragile cheekbones. Love it!
@scottEhall3
For anybody who winds up alone after a party on a beach in Northern California with a kinda warm bottle of wine, Girls has written your theme songs.
@LSUOdyssey
a warm bottle of wine with a syringe full of 10 ifferent opiates ....then yes!
