As If
Surf Rock is Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When sharing a bed
Can I shake this phase?
It's heavy on my head
Bridge and block to go
Adventure from the start
"Why'd you move so far?"
Is it really worth
To see your last one
Just to make them feel
As if they're still loved?
