People On Vacation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knowing what i know now
Think it could be better
Now that things have settled
Lets call it a day
Your so good at calling the shots
I know what you'll say
How dare, how dare you say those things
Settle down, baby when you get so mean
You love the way i sing
Ba ba da da...
Pack it up and put it away
Ba ba da da...
Save it for a rainy day
Anything can change
Tommorows just a day with another name
Never be the same
And i dont wanna fight anymore
How dare, how dare you say those things
Settle down
Baby when you get so mean
You love the way i sing
Ba ba da da...
Pack it up and put it away
Ba ba da da...
Save it for a rainy day
A ray of sunshine
A little home
Looking back threw a microscope
A little lie a beautiful day
Your the cloud that took it away
Save it for a rainy day (x)
Ba ba da da...
Pack it up and put it away
Ba ba da da...
Save it for a rainy day (repeat)
