Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just shoot for the stars if it feels right

And aim for my heart if you feel like it

Take me away and make it okay
I swear I'll behave
You wanted control so we waited
I put on a show now we're naked

You say I'm a kid my ego is big
I don't give a shit and it goes like this
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you all the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you with them moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
Baby it's hard when you feel like
You're broken and scarred

Nothing feels right, but when you're with me
I make you believe that I've got the key
Oh, so get in the car we can ride it
Wherever you want get inside it

And you want to steer, but I'm shifting gear
I'll take it from here oh yeah yeah and it goes like this
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you all the moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you with them moves like Jagger

I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
You want to know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night

But if I share my secret you're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this
So watch and learn I won't show you twice
Head to toe, ooh baby, rub me right

But if I share my secret you're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this
And it goes like this
Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you all the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you with them moves like Jagger

Nostalgia is like drugs, it makes you feel great but afterwards you... you almost realize nothing will ever be the same as that feeling. You will never feel the happiness that you just felt. It’s a hard pill to swallow. You can try to relive the simpler times but you just keep getting older, it keeps getting harder. I’m addicted to this feeling and I’ve been trying so hard to relive it but with the stress of everything... you can’t. I’ve watched countless early 2000’s songs, it works for a little but then I just go back into extreme sadness. It gets worse every video I watch. We have to continue having making memories so when these songs die out and fade away, forgotten and lost in a sea of videos. We can surely say that we’ve had a good run.






But hey, at least we laughed, smiled, and were care free as we heard these songs on the radio in the backseat of your parents car. We didn’t know how stressful and terrible the world was, but we didn’t care. We could be who we wanted to be without responsibilities. Without the fear of growing older. Not a care in the world
But as a very intelligent bear once said,
“We didn’t realize we were making memories, we were just having fun”
-Winne The Pooh
