Do You Remember
The Summer Obsession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can make a dash, hit the street.
It's always been, it's always been you and me.
Baby it's cool, you suck at school anyway.
So pack it up, let's run away, run away.
[chorus]
I know them bruises ain't from fallin' down,
We can go whenever you let go (whenever you let go)
Do you remember we said we'd run
Away together, holding on to one another.
I'll steal the car, steal the credit cards,
We'll run forever, holding on to one another.
This is the day, and tonight, I'll be there.
You know the time, you know the time don't be scared.
Get all your CDs, get all your posters,
Get what you need from their wallets and their purses.
[chorus]
And when we're all alone
With no one there to bother
I'll treat you like a queen
Forget about your father
There's no means that justify you
Livin' your whole life
In pain
[chorus]
(I'm here to save you from falling down)
Do you remember (I'm here to save you from falling down)
Do you remember (I'm here to save you from falling down)
Do you remember (I'm here to save you from falling down)
Do you remember (I'm here to save you from falling down)
(Do you remember)
