Hippo Campus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Praying in the dark that you won't go home
I should have said it better
I should have set fire to her letter
Forayed by our own
Playing the dark, where we bore it all
It all makes sense in the center
All makes sense where I sent her
But I could
Run to your apartment
Hope to get it started better than before
I could write it in a poem
Pretend I used to know you
Better than before
Why is it I want to change for you?
Why is it I want to see this through?
Maybe I'm sick of sleeping longer nights with lesser feelings
Maybe I'm better off that way
Maybe I don't want to see you stay
But I'm sick of sleeping longer nights with lesser feelings
Sick of sleeping longer nights with lesser feelings
Love from the west
Grinning mad, light blue and golden
Found at my best
I'm a sucker for your glowing
Love from the west
Grinning mad, light blue and golden
Found at my best
I'm a sucker for your glowing
Why is it I want to change for you?
Why is it I want to see this through?
Maybe I'm sick of sleeping longer nights with lesser feelings
Maybe I'm better off that way
Maybe I don't want to see you stay
But I'm sick of sleeping longer nights with lesser feelings
Why is it I want to change for you?
(Love from the west)
Why is it I want to see this through?
Maybe I'm sick of sleeping longer nights with lesser feelings
(Grinning mad, light blue and golden)
Maybe I'm better off that way
(Found at my best)
Maybe I don't want to see you stay
But I'm sick of sleeping longer nights with lesser feelings
(I'm a sucker for your glowing)

How I imagine them brainstorming this video:
"What if we just threw a shit ton of paint everywhere?"
"Dude."
@aprildrinksmate
Sofia S

paint. everywhere.
@fm.burbank8461
they already did that for Suicide Saturday and probably thought,
"Shit, let's do that again"
@Queezbo
Paint? I think chocolate.
@delightcheure8206
The colour of the paint rocks
@moosecannibal8224
@@Queezbo yeah, definitely not gold paint, it MUST be chocolate since the name of the song is Golden, why would they make any sort of relation to their song name in the video?
