The U.S. Army Airborne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Monday Night, 3 AM and I'm still awake
'Cause I'm living trough all of my past mistakes
Were you one of them? Was it meant to be?
There are so many things that i couldn't see

'Cause lately you've been rushing trough my mind
I thought after all of these years I could leave it behind
But I've been catching myself, scrolling trough my phone
Checking pictures of you when I'm all alone

I don't want you to know that I'm thinking of you
No, I don't want you to know
I don't want you to know that you still keep me up
No, I don't want you to know
Ohohohohoh

I don't want you to know that I'm thinking of you
I don't want you to know
That you still keep me up, that you still haunt my dreams
No, I don't want you to know
(I,I,I want you to know)

I've been wondering, if I keep you up at night?
Do I run trough your dreams when you're not alright?
Do you regret those nights that we had?
All alone, on your bedroomfloor, with no place to go

I don't want you to know that I'm thinking of you
No, I don't want you to know
I don't want you to know that you still keep me up
No, I don't want you to know
Ohohohohoh

I don't want you to know that I'm thinking of you
I don't want you to know
That you still keep me up, that you still haunt my dreams
No, I don't want you to know
(I,I,I want you to know)

I don't want you to know how I feel about you
I don't want you to know how I feel about you
I don't want you to know how I feel about you
I don't want you to know how I feel about you
I don't want you to know how I feel about you
I don't want you to know how I feel about you
I don't want you to know that I'm thinking of you
I don't want you to know

I don't want you to know that I'm thinking of you
I don't want you to know
That you still keep me up, that you still haunt my dreams
No, I don't want you to know
(I,I,I want you to know)
I don't want you to know that I'm thinking of you
I don't want you to know
That you still keep me up, that you still haunt my dreams




No, I don't want you to know
I don't want you to know
