Julian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're better off just keeping loose
But I want every little string attached I'd
Get all of the rooms
Now that I know you
I know I'm supposed to play hard to get or
At least pretend to keep my cool
Breaking all the rules
Now that I know you
I used to think I had a favorite hoodie
The kind you just don't wanna lose
I lost it happily to breakfast runs on
Sunday afternoon
Now that I know you
And I've never been someone to kiss and tell but
Now I get why people do
Because I swear I'd tell just anybody
I'd shout over the roofs
Now that I know you
I guess it's way too late to say forever
If I can't make you say it too
It's gon' be pretty hard to start again and
Meet somebody new
Now that I know you
