For Us
Seth & May Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

when I get a dog I'll still name him 'Bear'
Might still move to Brighton even if you're not there
Life don't stop living because you left
Guess I'll keep our dreams alive

For the both of us

When I get the chance I'll meet Gregory Porter,
And drag my new man along though he probably won't want to
He won't get
The sentiment
I'll just keep our dreams alive..

For the both of us





We wanted all the things
Ended up with nothing
