Knock Me Off My Feet
Soak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get out of my neighbourhood
Growing up, I've spilt my blood
But you're still my home
You stay within my bones
Saturday night on the highest wall
Setting them off, all fifty fireworks
Kicking the cannons, we watch them fall
You can, you can knock me off my feet
But I won't stop now, you can take a seat
You can, you can knock me off my feet
But I won't stop now, you can take a seat
Maybe it's all in my brain
People don't look at me the same
I feel weird and something's changed
But you're still my home, even though I'm alone
Saturday night in the local bar
Karaoke and a cracked up glitter ball
Bonnie and Jack just needed more
You let us down, what for?
You can, you can knock me off my feet
But I won't stop now, you can take a seat
You can, you can knock me off my feet
But I won't stop now, you can take a seat
You can, you can knock me off my feet
But I won't stop now, no I won't be beat
You can, you can knock me off my feet
But I won't stop now, you can take a seat
Saturday night on the highest wall
Setting them off, all fifty fireworks
Kicking the cannons, we watch them fall
It doesn't exist, the law
You can, you can knock me off my feet
But I won't stop now, you can take a seat
You can, you can knock me off my feet
But I won't back down, you can take a seat
You can, you can knock me off my feet
But I won't stop now, no I won't be beat
You can, you can knock me off my feet
But I won't stop now, you can take a seat

Saturday night on the highest wall
On a particular Saturday night, we find ourselves in an elevated state
Setting them off, all fifty fireworks

But I won't stop now, no I won't be beat
I refuse to cease my efforts and will not allow myself to be defeated
But I won't stop now, you can take a seat
Nevertheless, I will persist while you remain passive

This is the kind of song you listen to when you're casually growing trees/plants in unnatural speeds, saving civilians from landslides and stopping forest fires.
