Move On
The Super Happy Fun Club Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wrote a pop song, she sang along
I didn't know a tune could be so strong
Words that make her feel like she belongs
I didn't know, I didn't know
She says she can see my points of view
The pain I feel, she knows, she knows it's true
You never told me you were falling, too
I didn't know, I didn't know

It's not my fault she's in love with me
You can move on, you can move on...
It started with a kiss at the local bar
Her hand against my chest was smoothing scars
You know that meeting girls for me is hard
Didn't you know, didn't you know?
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, Woah-oh-oh)
It's not my fault she's in love with me
You can move on, you can move on...
It's not my fault she's in love with me
You can move on, you can move on...
You won't be alone, out there, out there
Won't be alone
You won't be alone, out there, out there
Won't be alone
Are you still alive? (You won't be alone)
Are you still alive? (Out there, Out there)
Are you breathing? (Won't be alone)
Are you still alive? (You won't be alone)
Are you still alive? (Out there, Out there)
Are you breathing? (Won't be alone)
It's not my fault she's in love with me
You can move on, you can move on...
It's not my fault she's in love with me
You can move on, you can move on...
We've been friends for years now, we've gone the distance (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I need a pretty face that's good at listening (Woah-oh-oh)
Now (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Now (Woah-oh-oh)
We've been friends for years now, we've gone the distance (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I need a pretty face that's good at listening (Woah-oh-oh)
Now (Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Now (Woah-oh-oh)
(Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, Woah-oh-oh)
