911
Mt. Si Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hard times at the dance
You′re gonna take your chance
You don't have to notice now
And no one has to notice how

Hard times at the dance
You′re gonna take your chance
You don't have to notice now
And no one has to notice how

Feelings got me started
Got me started in a way
We turn another chapter
Moving in to greet the day
Feel afraid to notice how I'm the one
Ooo
You′re the one

Hard times at the dance
You′re gonna take your chance
You don't have to notice now
And no one has to notice how

Ooo, Ooo

Feelings got me started
Got me started in a way
We turn another chapter
Moving in to greet the day
Feel afraid to notice how I′m the one

All I'm asking
All I say to you
Is keep me hanging on
She sleeps early
She wakes up alive
For your kiss tonight

All I′m asking
All I say to you
Is keep me hanging on
Ooo
She sleeps early




She wakes up alive
For your kiss tonight

Listened to this over a month ago when it was 500 views. Now it’s just under 3,000 views?? Jeez. How can something so good not get that much attention?
