Bittersweet
Scøøb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey Shinji
Do you wanna kiss me
Huh, what
Kissing, y'know
Have you ever done it?
Nuh uh
So lets do it
But why?
We sat in the backseat of your car
Wish we could go back but here we are
We both knew it from the start
But it didn't matter in the end
I could never forget
How your face shined under the stars
How I looked in your eyes
But now the day feels so far
Wait
I'll never forget that day
No matter how long it takes
You'll stay on mind replay
That night on repeat
I could never forget
How your face shined under the stars
Everything was great
Why'd it have to be this way
Even though it's fucked
Part of me would wish you'd stay
But I know that were better than that
But I can't help but have a panic attack
I'm sorry, I swear i'm getting better
But i'm sorry, I wont forget you never
I'm sorry, I never meant this pressure
But I cant help, but miss you
And I cant help but look at
What could have been
Even angel numbers
Were on our side
Take me back to the park
And back to that night
We sat in the backseat of your car
Wish we could go back but here we are
We both knew it from the start
But it didn't matter in the end
I could never forget
How your face shined under the stars
How I looked in your eyes
But now the day feels so far
Wait
I'll never forget that day
No matter how long it takes




You'll stay on mind replay
That night on repeat
