The All-American Rejects Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until you started showing up in my dreams
Hey, do you ever think of me at all
I don't even know why I feel the way I do
Ohhh
Does it mean that I'm not over you
Ohhh
Does it mean that I'm not over you
We've left it all in Sydney
They will never leave
They will never leave
I swear I haven't thought of you at all
Until you started showing up in my dreams
Hey, do you ever think of me at all
I don't even know why I feel the way I do
Ohhh
Does it mean that I'm not over you
Ohhh
Does it mean that I'm not over you

When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
With my darling by my side, every day feels like a beautiful spring day, even in the midst of the coldest, harshest times.
I guess you'd say
There are no words to describe the immense love and happiness my girl brings me.
What can make me feel this way?
What else could bring me such incredible feelings of contentment, fulfillment, and pure bliss?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
The focus and source of all my happiness and love is my girl, the one and only person who can make me feel this way.
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

Hey hey hey
Let me just revel in how wonderful my girl is for a moment here.

Having my girl's love and companionship is worth more than any material possessions, and I don't need any external validation or attention to feel fulfilled.

@szylx93
Yeah, it totally sounds like old Blink jajaja
@suelee2917
All of these songs before Swing Swing were on an album called "Blue". I don't know if Chris and Mike were on it. They really liked Blink 182 and years later went on tour with them.
@suelee2917
This year 2016 they did a Tour with Blink 182. Still waiting for a new CD from AAR.
@jonathanfriedman7430
They released something in 2015 (There's a Place) as a promotion for a movie. They released a couple songs over the past week and they have 10 songs recorded and an album is supposed to be released this year.
@jonathanfriedman7430
Also Chris and Mike weren't in the band until Swing, Swing was released
@needreviving4644
Yeah they joined in 2002. New CD for 2018, I read Tyson said that they're going to be releasing songs in the format of Sweat/Close Your Eyes, Tyson said he didn't like the lip syncing in music videos and wanted to make stories to go along with his songs. 2 songs released in one video, with an acting part.
@iokasticnd7645

@xHeMakesMyHeartSmile
