Just For Tonight
It's Like Love Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay up til daylight
Drinking to feel right
Everythings changing
We seemed to lose sight

Innocence we took for granted
Say goodbye as if we planned it
You grow up, you fall down
Nothings safe, nothings sound
Well, have you had enough yet?

Were growing older
The worlds getting colder
Rumors will haunt you
Torment and taunt you
Get back up and throw it back in the faces
Of anybody who doubted you
Anybody who made this so damn hard





Even if its just for tonight
