My Tiger My Timing Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uptown all around
All I want is an endless summer
Yeah yeah
Come down school is out
All I want is an endless summer
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

All the nights when you come undone

You said hold the fear cause you wanna have fun
And I said uptown hear that sound
All I want is an endless summer
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The world belongs to us tonight
I'll meet you on the road outside

This *own bring it down
*ll fed up with the rain and thunder
Yeah yeah
Time to turn it round oh oh oh or we're going under

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

All the nights we were having fun

Remember all the feeling well it's been too long
And I said somehow make it now all I want is an endless summer
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The world belongs to us tonight
I'll meet you on the road outside

This is the night for it
And I will die trying to prove it
The circumstances fit
And I will dies trying to prove it
This is the night for it
And I will try, try to prove it

The circumstances fit
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Line by Line Meaning

Uptown all around
Everywhere I look, everything I see

All I want is an endless summer
I wish for nothing more than a long season of leisure and joy

Come down school is out
Summer has arrived, and with it comes freedom from school

All I want is an endless summer
I desire the freedom and happiness that can be found in an extended summer season

All the nights when you come undone
During times when you feel lost or unsure

You said hold the fear cause you wanna have fun
You advised me not to be afraid because we are seeking enjoyment

And I said uptown hear that sound
I pointed out that I hear a celebration taking place nearby

All I want is an endless summer
I continue to crave an extended period of delight and relaxation

The world belongs to us tonight
Tonight is ours, and anything is possible

I'll meet you on the road outside
We'll rendezvous on the street and embark on a journey together

This *own bring it down
This oppressive weather must end

*ll fed up with the rain and thunder
I have grown weary of the constant precipitation and stormy weather

Time to turn it round oh oh oh or we're going under
It's time to change our circumstances or risk failing

All the nights we were having fun
The many evenings that we spent enjoying ourselves

Remember all the feeling well it's been too long
Recall the positive emotions we experienced; it's been too long since we felt that way

And I said somehow make it now all I want is an endless summer
I'm determined to create the conditions necessary to make this a summer to remember, no matter what it takes

The world belongs to us tonight
Once again, tonight is ours and full of opportunities

I'll meet you on the road outside
As before, we'll meet up and explore together

This is the night for it
This is the ideal date for our plans

And I will die trying to prove it
I am entirely committed to making this a great summer no matter the cost

The circumstances fit
The conditions are perfect for our venture
