Planets
Short Stack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm reaching out I'm reaching out
I'm reaching out to get to you

Sweet heart
Here's the sweet part
it's five AM
And your lips are still amazing
But they they can't stop
Me from falling
Off the rooftop singing

What planet are you from?
And are all the lights on?
I don't know how to talk to you.
And where did you come from?
What planet are you on?
I can't believe the things you do.
I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
I'm reaching out to get to you
I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
I think I'm on the same planet as you

Stop now
Here's the break down
Let's Leave this town
In the place of ill intentions
And the cop calls
Sound the alarms
But they're too damn late
Boom boom, baby

What planet are you from?
And are all the lights on?
I don't know how to talk to you.
And where did you come from?
What planet are you on?
I can't believe the things you do.
I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
I'm reaching out to get to you
I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
I think I'm on the same planet as you

Sweet heart I'm here for you
To see your pretty face
I defy all the stars
To capture your embrace
Sweetheart I'm holding out
Sweetheart were pulling through
Sweetheart I'm reaching out
Only to get to you
Only to get to you
Only to get to you

Oh
What planet are you from?
And are all the lights on?
I don't know how to talk to you.
And where did you come from?
What planet are you on?
I can't believe the things you do.
I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
I'm reaching out to get to you
I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
I'm reaching out (I'm reaching out)
I think I'm on the same planet as you





I think I'm on the same planet as you
I think I'm on the same planet as you

Man, I had so much nostalgia the other day when I found out that this was from Short Stack, I haven't heard them in literally years until this song was played on the radio the other day. Now, I feel old as I grew up and watch them start and when they initially got huge way back 7-8 years ago.
