Saturdays
Jake Coco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So here's the day you've waited for
A million people screaming at your door
And everybody's watching you,
So here's the man you wanna be, a million people here to see you
And no one even konws your name.
But I don't want, anyone but you tonight.
A million people never made me feel so right.
Saturdays they come so soon, and everybody waits for you, and no one wants to let you know you're dreaming
So here's the man you wanna be.
The life you want, the one you wanna lead.
And everybody loves you now.
But where's the boy she used to know?
I think he's somewhere where it's always cold,
At least that's where she saw him last.


So here's the day you've waited for, a million people screaming at your door, and are you finally happy?
