Big News Across the Wire
Jackson's Kid Summer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'll give up the information
To anyone with the right denomination
You'll give up our dreams
When we deserve more than that

If I admit that I miss you
Don't be so proud of that fact
I'm trying so hard not to kiss you
So don't sing so loud of that

The light filling your head
Is all that you wanted
Where's all that promise you promised me?

Your permanent posture
Oh my god, I think I've lost her
That lack and lazy registration

Respecting the boundaries
Hell bound on our summer streets
What's wrong with us?
What's wrong with me?

Respecting the boundaries
Don't you dare ever cross that river
You're no good for us
You're not our kind with that rotten love you'll give her

Blue streak across your chest
One more week, I've only got just one week left
Feeling sick, making music or making noise
Bitter little girls right next to fragile little boys

Respecting the boundaries
Hell bound on our summer streets
What's wrong with us?
What's wrong with me?

Respecting the boundaries
Don't you dare ever cross that river
You're no good for us
You're not our kind with that rotten love you'll give her

My brother doesn't have a problem
He's just cold inside
My brother doesn't have a problem
And he'll deny that you're right

Respecting the boundaries
Hell bound on our summer streets
What's wrong with us?
What's wrong with me?

Respecting the boundaries
Don't you dare ever cross that river




You're no good for us
You're not our kind with that rotten love you'll give her
