Trade My Trips
Knox Hamilton Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey future
I hope you understand
I've been waiting
As long as I can

Don't you want to stay up with me all night?
Don't you want to stay up with me all night?

Hey future
I don't think I'm your man
I've kept you waiting
As long as I can

Don't you want to stay up with me all night?
Don't you want to stay up with me all night?

Trade my trips to fall in love with you
Trade my trips to fall in love with you
Trade my trips to fall in love with you

Hey future
I hope you understand
I'll be there soon
Just as we planned

Don't you want to wait for me a lifetime?
Don't you want to wait for me a lifetime?

Trade my trips to fall in love with you
Trade my trips to fall in love with you
Trade my trips to fall in love with you

Trade my trips to fall in love with you
Trade my trips to fall in love with you
Trade my trips to fall in love with you

We can never find another
Don't mind to say you're mine to lose
And we'd be perfect for each other
I know it's you who sees it too

And we can never find another
Don't mind to say you're mine to lose
And we'd be perfect for each other
I know it's you who sees it too

(Hey future)
Trade my trips to fall in love with you
(I hope you understand)
Trade my trips to fall in love with you
(I've been waiting)
Trade my trips to fall in love with you
(As long as I can)
(As long as I can)

(Wait on me future)
Trade my trips to fall in love with you
(I'll be there soon)

Trade my trips to fall in love with you
Trade my trips to fall in love with you

Loved all of this song right up until the ending where there’s a muffled little kids voice that makes absolutely no sense to be there with the song. It’s a great song, but I don’t care for the kid’s voice at the end...it doesn’t work.
