That's What Makes Me Love You
Regrettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You started laughing, it's just a silly dream
Twelve o'clock, but we should go dancing
Jump on the bed, but don't hit your head
'Cause we know the ceiling is built on our feeling
But we got the hands that can lift it up
Some tried to take it, my baby, don't fake it
Phone calls, I'm crying on the floor
Tell me, what'd you say that for?
Days pass, now all we do is laugh
Screaming in the grocery store
That's what makes me love you
Baby, that's what makes me love you
That's what makes me love you
Two years of being together
Is it weird that I think about forty more?
But I swear there's really no pressure
Forget I said that (forget I said)
I wanna have babies, let's go fucking crazy
Move out of the city to Tokyo
I'll learn the piano and you can play cello
And every night playing, "La Vie En Rose"
Late nights, you're crying on the floor
I don't know what I said that for
Days pass, now all we do is laugh
We're never good at keeping score
That's what makes me love you
Baby, that's what makes me love you
That's what makes me love you
Everything I want is everything you got, whoa
I know it can be a lot, but, baby, that's love, whoa
Let's go
This morning, woke up smiling
'Cause I knew that it was a stupid dream
Eight o'clock, but we should close the curtains
Come closer, get back in bed
Phone calls, I'm crying on the floor
Tell me, what'd you say that for? (Say that for)
Days pass, now all we do is laugh
Screaming in the grocery store
That's what makes me love you
Baby, that's what makes me love you
That's what makes me love you
