Bleach Blonde
This Century Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Verse)
It's been a long year
Been a long night
Took a shot of love
For the first time
And I tried
To keep it together inside
(Verse)
So the hours turn to days and months
I'm still struggling to give her up
I was reaching for a lifeline
I was looking for a good time

(Pre-Chorus)
But there's a bleach blonde girl
With the records on
And a smile on her face
Like she knows what's up
(whoa oh whoa oh)
Well if she don't care
Then I don'care
She's a new tattoo that I won't forget
Her sun kissedskin
Shining on forever
I don't wanna wait for the endless summer

(Chorus)
I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
For the endless summer

(Verse)
Took her out
Took her in the moonlight
Got lost in the stars
In her eyes
And I'm blinded by the light
She was this and that
And everything in-between
And a secret word and
I know the meaning
How could I go?
For so long without her, yeah

(Pre-Chorus)
But there's a bleach blonde girl
With the records on
And a smile on her face
Like she knows what's up
(whoa oh whoa oh)
Well if she don't care
Then I don'care
She's a new tattoo that I won't forget
Her sun kissedskin
Shining on forever
I don't wanna wait for the endless summer

(Chorus)
I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
For the endless summer

(Bridge)
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
For the endless summer

(Verse)
It's been a long year
Been a long night
Took a shot of love
For the first time
I can't wait any longer
Wait any longer

(Pre-Chorus)
But there's a bleach blonde girl
With the records on
And a smile on her face
Like she knows what's up
(whoa oh whoa oh)
Well if she don't care
Then I don'care
She's a new tattoo that I won't forget
Her sun kissedskin
Shining on forever
I don't wanna wait for the endless summer

(Chorus)
I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
For the endless summer

I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait




I don't wanna wait
No I don't wanna wait
