Hey
The Movielife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The reasons why things went the way they did
And why we can't accept it
We'd Fall asleep, but not before we excorcised the evil things that everyone
Hides
We would lie there in my bed,
Do you remember all those nights we never slept
No clothes, sweaty doing all those things I never thought I'd do
and hey, don't feel bad.
No one can ever take away the boardwalk trips or the subways
I think we grew up
Past the hang-ups and the evil stares
The fuck you toos and I don't cares
We would lie there in my bed,
Do you remember all those nights we never slept
No clothes, sweaty doing all those things I never thought I'd do
And I did them with you
Hey, I geuss I'll figure it out
The reasons why things went the way they did
And why we can't accept it
We'd Fall asleep, but not before we excorcised the evil things that everyone
Hides
We would lie there in my bed,
Do you remember all those nights we never slept
And even though we brought it crashing to an end, I loved it all
And now I love my friend
I loved it all,
I love the girl,
I love my friend.
