Momentum
Nos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Katie's just a little girl who
Always, never, talk laugh listen.
She just wants me to wait here for a while.
But since I really don't like waiting
And since I think it doesn't matter:
Katie you can see me when I'm gone

I don't like this
I just won't buy it
And I don't want to try it no more

I don't like this
I just won't buy it
And I don't want to try it no more

You Ladada
You Ladada
You Ladada

Maybe on the weekend we can
Go out to the movie theatre
Catch some dinner down there at the scene

But when I go and make some time
Katie says that I'm not truthful
And there's always something I don't say

I don't like this
I just won't buy it
And I don't want to try it no more

I don't like this
I just won't buy it
And I don't want to try it no more

You Ladada
You Ladada
You Ladada


Katie can you see me when I'm gone?
Katie you can see me when I've

gone away in the park
Without you in the dark

girl when you went to stand
I just couldn't help but to pull your hand.

Now she walks around the town with
Her fat lip bulging

She shows her crooked teeth
And her eyes are all wicked

Love at your momentum
I'm skipping like a stone
I'm tired of screwin' up
And I'm tired of screwin' you

I don't like this
I just won't buy it
And I don't want to try it no more

I don't like this
I just won't buy it
And I don't want to try it no more

Katie can you see me when I'm gone?
Katie you can see me when I've

You Ladada
You Ladada
You Ladada

Yep I really did use it. It worked exactly like I imagined it to be. The running and farewell part.

I did have to cut it a bit to make it fit with the story's length though. :)

Have to say thank you for the awesome song.
