Hurts(허츠) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't shake it off by Friday night
I fall for you on a Saturday
But I'm on my own on a Sunday
Can't stop, can't stop
If I wanted to
Can't stop, can't stop
Can't stop, can't stop
I know you dream of me
I won't stop if this is real
Whatever I do (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm thinking of you
Every time I lay down
Every time I wake up
Every night I try but it just won't stop
Whatever I do
I'm thinking of you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
It's hard waking up on a Monday
Knowing I won't see you till Tuesday night
My minds made up on a Wednesday
It's been one week since that Thursday
Whatever I do (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm thinking of you
Every time I lay down
Every time I wake up
Every night I try but it just won't stop
Whatever I do
I'm thinking of you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm thinking about ya (x4)
Whatever I do (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm thinking of you
Every time I lay down
Every time I wake up
Every night I try but it just won't stop
Whatever I do
I'm thinking of you (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Reflecting about the time passed since getting emotionally attached on that Thursday
