now THIS is podracing
Mom Jeans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For you to see things the way that I do?
Just for a minute so I can be brutally honest
With you
About everything I'm still so afraid of
Being there is hard when things eventually fall apart
So would you do it?
Would you stick through it?
When things aren't quite as easy as they once were
‘Cause I have a tendency to take on more than I can handle
And you have a tendency to get mad when you're bored
And will you risk your sanity
Plus all the other things you might not end up liking about me
Will you promise to love me more than you might hate me?
So I'll stay sober
Or at least smoke a little less weed
If you'll live closer
To me so I can still sleep at your house
When it's cold and it's dark outside
I've never slept that well in my whole life
And it's nice to not have to try sometimes
‘Cause no ones ever made me feel the way that you do
No ones ever made me feel as loved as you do
And nobody else knows me the way that you do
Nobody's ever been this good to me
Not even myself

So what'll it take
What do I need to do for you to understand me?
For you to see things the way that I do?
Can you see life from my perspective?
Just for a minute so I can be brutally honest
Can you give me a moment to be completely truthful?
With you
When I'm talking to you.
About everything I'm still so afraid of
I want to tell you my deepest fears.
Being there is hard when things eventually fall apart
It gets difficult to stay together when life gets tough.
So would you do it?
Are you willing to do that?
If I told you about how I felt
If I share my emotions with you?
Would you stick through it?
Will you stay with me through thick and thin?
When things aren't quite as easy as they once were
When situations become challenging.
‘Cause I have a tendency to take on more than I can handle
I often take up more responsibilities than I can manage.
And you have a tendency to get mad when you're bored
You tend to become irritable when there's nothing much to do.
And will you risk your sanity
Can you risk your mental stability?
Plus all the other things you might not end up liking about me
And all my other shortcomings that you might not be fond of.
Will you promise to love me more than you might hate me?
Can you assure me that your love will overpower your dislikes?
So I'll stay sober
I will abstain from drinking.
Or at least smoke a little less weed
I'll try to reduce my consumption of marijuana.
If you'll live closer
If only you stayed nearby.
To me so I can still sleep at your house
So that I can come over and spend the night at your place.
When it's cold and it's dark outside
During harsh weather conditions.
I've never slept that well in my whole life
I've never had such peaceful sleep ever.
And it's nice to not have to try sometimes
It feels great to relax and not put in any effort.
‘Cause no ones ever made me feel the way that you do
No one has ever made me feel as special as you.
No ones ever made me feel as loved as you do
You are the only one who has made me feel truly loved.
And nobody else knows me the way that you do
You understand me better than anyone else.
Nobody's ever been this good to me
No one has ever been as kind to me as you.
Not even myself
I haven't been that generous to myself even.
