Thinking About You
OUT-O THE LERICAL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get a call on a random afternoon
I pick it up and I see that it's you
Like my heart, you were breaking the news
You said it's over, it's over, it's over

Heading out, 'cause I'm outta my mind
All my friends are gonna see me tonight
Staying here, 'til the sun start's to rise
And I'm, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna

Dance hard, laugh more
Turn the music up now
Party like a rockstar
Can I get a what now?
I swear I'll do anything that I have to
'Til I forget about you

Jump up, fall down
Gonna play it loud now
Don't care
My head's spinning all around now
I swear I'll do
Anything that I have to
'Til I forget about you

I thought I'd be here on my own
Waiting for you to knock on my door
Since you left, I don't wait by the phone
I'm moving, I'm moving, I'm moving

I found a place where I can't lose myself
And just leave your memory on the shelf
See I'm fine, no I don't need nobody else
'Cause I'm, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going

Dance hard, laugh more
Turn the music up now
Party like a rockstar
Can I get a what now?
I swear I'll do anything that I have to
'Til I forget about you

Jump up, fall down
Gonna play it loud now
Don't care
My head's spinning all around now
I swear I'll do
Anything that I have to
'Til I forget about you

Spending money like you don't mean a thing
I'm going crazy now I don't even think
I'm losing my mind, that's all I can do
'Til I forget about you

Dance hard, laugh more
Turn the music up now
Party like a rockstar
Can I get a what now?
I swear I'll do anything that I have to
'Til I forget about you

Jump up, fall down
Gonna play it loud now
Don't care
My head's spinning all around now
I swear I'll do
Anything that I have to
'Til I forget about you





'Til I forget about you
'Til I forget about you
