Roam
PK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you get a little bit lonely sometimes, let me know
You say he'll change, well I say you're wrong
And baby, oh,
Well love like his is cold, it gets you down
I'm just tired of hearing how we sing the same

Roam, but it's never gonna change your ways
No it just don't change a thing
I know I'm never gonna break your heart
Roam 'til it leaves you feeling old
But he's never gonna take you home

Maybe I'm just tired of hearing how you slept with him
Girls never just make friends, but it seems nice to pretend
Oh well now, oh
Well I'm dying by my door, Oh!
Hey, I wanna take you out tonight
Don't wanna hold myself back no more...

...in Rome
But it's never gonna change your ways
No, it just don't change a thing
I know I'm never gonna break your heart
Roam 'til it leaves you feeling old
But he's never gonna take you home

Mr. Keating, for what it's worth
Lady Ashley's gonna wreck your weekend

Say "auf Wiedersehen"
When love is cold
We're always up and gone
And no we don't invite you

Well he won't mind

Mr. Keating, for what it's worth
A love like yours, well it just ain't right, no
So I'll say




Do you really mind?
I'm coming over...

No it just don't change a thing
You refuse to change and it doesn't alter the outcome


I know I'm never gonna break your heart

We're always moving on

Your love is not right, no
