Stupid
Noelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We got lost at Union station
And you held my hand
Said we'd get home somehow

Summer nights spent in the basement
Of your parent's house
Trying not to be too loud
Even knowing how it ends
I would do it all again
The sadness and the impulses
Wanna feel them all again

Was I stupid
For falling in love
When I knew that we
Couldn't handle it?

Was I stupid
To give you my heart
When we knew from the start
That we would fall apart?

Summer's over, boarding my train
We said we'd make it work
We didn't know what that meant

Phone calls, they were keepin' me sane
And now they feel like work
And we both just pretend

Even knowing how it ends
I would do it all again
The sadness and the impulses
Wanna feel them all again

Was I stupid
For falling in love
When I knew that we
Couldn't handle it?

Was I stupid
To give you my heart
When we knew from the start
That we would fall apart?

I'll be wishing you well
Guess it was what it was
I'm just happy I met you

I'll be wishing you well




Guess that it wasn't love
But I'm happy I met you
