Anna
Teddy & The Twilights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I’ll write an album for you someday my dear
But we’ll settle for the singles while we have to
Cause that’s all the label wants now, and I ain’t got the clout round here
But I’ll write an album for you someday my darling
No matter how long it takes, I swear I’ll make it true
5 years, 10 years down the line, I’ll still be yours, you’ll be still be mine
Anna, you’re my girl
And I will tell the world
I’ll commit my love to vinyl when I can
And you’re only 17
Years ahead of me
Now go tell your little brother to give me a chance
So he hits the studio 15 years later
To make the record solely for his wife
Cause if Marvin ever wants a chance to be free, he’s gotta find a way to pay the alimony
Then he’ll move on to his new life
And my new high school sweetheart
See the judge said i could give you all the proceeds
So I figured I’d just kinda half-ass it, you know, out of spite
But that felt wrong and soon enough, my darling, inspiration struck
Instead I really tried to do it right
So have no fear my dear
Albums here my dear
And I’m pouring out my soul here just for you
Cause Anna, you were my girl
And I will tell all the world
And share every little detail of what we’ve been through
Always said I’d write an album just for you
Just didn’t know it’d be like this.
I hope you like it, it’s 80 minutes long.
