Here - Alessia Cara (Mp3For.Me) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Julian Berosh shows me his favorite bands I
Tend to enjoy them and it makes me want to write songs
And that's how i found myself in my basement tonight
Today I heard the song everywhere by Michelle Branch
On a 2000's playlist, it almost felt planned
And I sang along to prove the joy was not just in my head
Manchester Orchestra is clear that they've got friends
So is Jack's Mannequin, they help him pull through
And I just want to keep on doing that until I find this
Steven Arcieri calls me every fuckin' day
To discuss Karl Ove, he's our reality show
And I wouldn't have it any other goddamn way
Tonight I'll probably watch Grease and Rugrats movie
I keep on truckin' with my destination staying
Out of my sight, it keeps my hopes and dreams inside
I've got to write, I've got to focus on my life
We're all alone, we're here to show that we can grow




I'm free to ride, I'm tall enough to stay inside
And cogitate, and try to find some understanding if i can
