Good Time
Owl City & Carly Ray Jepsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's always a good time
It's always a good time

Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
'cause it's always a good time
Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
'cause it's always a good time

Good morning and good night
I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.

(It's always a good time)
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)

Freaked out dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room hit the ATM
Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight
'cause it's always a good time

Good morning and good night
I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time.
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time

Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then
Doesn't matter where
It's always a good time there
Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then
(It's always a good time)
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time




Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time

Something about being a kid during the late 2000’s and early 2010’s feels so magical. Going to the pool on a hot summer day, sitting in the backseat of a car listening to pop music on the radio, watching cartoons during the weekend, playing mobile games on parent’s phone, and just plain having fun. Doing kid stuff without a care in the world. It was just an amazing experience.
