Last Night I Dreamt That An Emo Kid Loved Me
Good Clean Fun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jen, she really rocks my world, I think she is the perfect girl,
But she never seems to notice me she doesn't care about my positivity,
I try to take her by the hand, reminded her that I too am in a band,
But she doesn't seem to understand, or care about the things I've planned,
At times it seems that I've been cursed,
My love life couldn't get much worse,
But I'll keep hoping anyway,
I love Jen but Jen loves Saves the Day,
I fell asleep with the radio on, it was playing Queen,
Freddy must have spoken to me, I had the STRANGEST dream,
We turned our backs on all we knew and loved, and left the core behind,
For greener grass and thrift-store clothes and finally Jen was mine,
Won't compromise what I believe, 'cause I can see,
Won't change my life to make a friend, 'cause that's not me,
I won't be bitter, I won't be mad, that's not how I am,




I've got to live my life for me, I understand,
I can be posi alone.
