Style
IFMENOT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You come and pick me up, no headlights
Long drive
Could end in burning flames or paradise
Fade into view, oh
It's been a while since I have even heard from you
(Heard from you)
I should just tell you to leave 'cause I
Watch us go 'round and 'round each time
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
So it goes
He can't keep his wild eyes on the road
Takes me home
Lights are off, he's taking off his coat
I say, "I heard, oh
That you've been out and about with some other girl,
Some other girl."
He says, "What you've heard is true but I
Can't stop thinking about you," and I...
I said, "I've been there too a few times."
'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt
And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style
Take me home
Just take me home, yeah.
Just take me home
(Out of style)
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down
We come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style

เห้ย! เรานึกว่าวงนอก กำลังจะเม้นอังกฤษละ เจอคอมเม้นไทยปุ๊บเงิบเลยจ้า55555555
ภูมิใจที่วงคนไทยทำได้ขนาดนี้ เก่งมากๆเลยค่ะ เราชอบมากกกกกกกกเลย:)
แต่ขอตินี้ดดดดดนึงนะคะ เราว่าสำเนียงมีเพี้ยนนึดหน่อย แต่อันนี้ไม่ว่ากันเนอะ แต่ที่เรารู้สึก(ไม่รู้ว่าคิดไปเองหรือเปล่า) คือเราว่ามันมีบางช่วงที่จังหวะแปลกๆ เหมือนร้องไม่ตรงกับจังหวะ แต่เราก็ไม่ได้เชี่ยวชาญด้านดนตรีอ่ะนะ เป็นคนเสพเฉยๆ5555555
สรุปแล้วเราว่าทำได้ดีมากๆเลยล่ะค่ะ ชอบมาก เป็นกำลังใจให้นะคะ
