Marianas Trench Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can say you're kind of bored with this
But if you're young, it's new, I guess
But I don't want you leaving me now
You can say that I don't know romance
I can sing but I can't dance
And I don't want you leaving me now
Oh well you say I'm a mess
You say everything but a yes
You say you'll never date me
You say your mamma will hate me

Or you can just shut up (shut up)
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Shut up and kiss me
Shut up (shut up)
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Shut up and kiss me

Say you won't
And you could tell me no, and you can let me go
Or maybe if you don't, then just
Shut up (shut up)
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Oh shut up and kiss me

Sha nah nah nah (the how do we know)
Sha nah nah nah (the more you say no)
Sha nah nah nah (so let's get down low)

Baby don't say to me
You should stay away from me
'Cause I don't want you leaving me now
Oh you say I don't listen right
I only hear just what I like
I don't want you leaving me now
Well, you think I'm a mess
You say everything but a yes
You say you'll never date me,
Say you'll momma'll hate me

Or you can just shut up (shut up)
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Shut up and kiss me
Shut up (shut up)
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Shut up and kiss me

Say you won't
And you could tell me no, and you can let me go
Or maybe if you don't, then just
Shut up (shut up)
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Oh shut up and kiss me

(Shut shut shut shut shut shut up
You gotta shut shut shut shut shut shut up)

You gotta shut up (shut up)
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Shut up and kiss me
Shut up (shut up)
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Shut up and kiss me

Say you won't
And you could tell me no, and you can let me go
Or maybe if you don't, then just
Shut up (shut up)
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Oh shut up and kiss me

Shut up (shut up)
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Oh shut your mouth and kiss me baby
Shut up (shut up)
(Shut up, shut up, shut up)
Don't sound like Mike did (sound like Mike did)
No, but it's all right for a white kid




Sound like Mike did (sound like mike did)
No but it's alright for a white kid

I just have to say this real quick. So I have been listening to marianas trench since I was three years old, and I turn 13 tomorrow (July 21) and I could literally cry that's how much I love this band. Their music has gotten me through some of the hardest times of my life, and I could not thank them enough. I love the story of how the band got together, the meanings behind the music, the wacky outfits, you name it. Josh Ramsay has been my idol forever and if he's reading this, I just want to say, You have meant more to me than you will ever understand. Your music and story make me believe that there is still hope for me, and I thank you for being my idol, and for being someone I can just look up to feel inspired and happy. I don't ever feel happy anymore, and you make me so happy no matter how sad I am. Also, I live in Squamish BC. I love you Marianas Trench, so so much.

@brynn9448
