Ruthanne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Doesn′t get much better
I want it like this forever
'Cause I can see it on your face
It′s on another level
And we done it together
I can feel a difference

The smell, the touch, the taste

The way my heart vibrates this place
No pictures necessary
This the kind that's legendary, oh
And it's all that matters right now
So let′s make it last forever somehow

And I don′t mind
If you forget about the times we felt the pain
And you forget about the stupid mess we made
But please tell me you'll remember this
This moment right here
Way past the time we live
For years and years and years
I won′t take this for granted
Please tell me you'll remember this
′Cause I'll remember all of it

Been through all that weather
Thick as thieves, we strong like leather
Laughing at our old mistakes
It′s on another level
And we stuck it out together
'Cause we about the little things (The little things)

The love, the lust, no hate
That makes our hearts vibrate the same
No pictures necessary
This the kind that's legendary, oh
And it′s all that matters right now
So let′s make it last forever somehow

And I don't mind
If you forget about the times we felt the pain
And you forget about the stupid mess we made
But please tell me you′ll remember this
This moment right here
Way past the time we live
For years and years and years
I won't take this for granted
Please tell me you′ll remember this
'Cause I′ll remember all of it

Ah, there must be something in the air tonight, yeah
Like everything's changed but it's the same
′Cause it′s you and I, you and I
Through the tears, through the fights
All the way, see the light
We've arrived

And I don′t mind
If you forget about the times we felt the pain
And you forget about the stupid mess we made
But please tell me you'll remember this
This moment right here
Way past the time we live
For years and years and years
I won′t take this for granted
Please tell me you'll remember this
′Cause I'll remember all of it

This moment right here
Way past the time we live
For years and years and years
I won't take this for granted

Please tell me you′ll remember this
′Cause I'll remember all of it
