LAUNDRY DAY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said I wasn't sure cause I don't even know your middle name
I know it's kinda crazy
But we just met and I think
I'm just really into all your face
And I'm like
Catch me on the lawn
Chillin' in the sun like
This feel like a dream life
We ain't kids for nothing
I told my friends about you
They laughed in my face
And they said they wished that
I'd just be myself
I wish they could be proud of me
Just smile and wave, no honesty
I don't need the truth to bring me down
Now I'm just thinking of you
Look at the view
Breathing in the Walmart perfume
The sun goes down soon
So whatchu tryna do?
So whatchu tryna do?
And you say
Catch me on the lawn
Chillin' in the sun like
This is what we dreamed of
This feel like a dream life
We ain't kids for nothing
Catch me on the lawn
Chillin' in the sun like
This is what we dreamed of
This feel like a dream life
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
We ain't kids for nothing
