Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel it in my bones
We lived a life so strange
And I wish it would stay
When you cornered me in a casket made of pearls
And I threw it down in the corner of the world
Now, memories can be a monster
But July's a lie that I deserve
But July's a lie that I deserve
And it's like the last time
Where you say you will but you won't, no
I'll follow you all the way home
You sound so sweet but you end up alone
And it's like the last time
Where you say you will but you won't, no
I'll follow you all the way home
You sound so sweet but you end up alone
Cause you got that sugar brown hair
You got that bubble gum mouth
You'd be remiss if you call me a liar
We can walk around
Up, down, this whole town
You'd be remiss, if you called me a liar
You got that sugar brown hair
You got that bubble gum mouth
You'd be remiss if you called me a liar
We can walk around
Up, down, this whole town
You'd be remiss if you call me a liar
Cause you left me so cold
I can feel it in my bones
We lived a life so strange
And I wish it would stay

I believe that if an unknown artist came out with this as their first track rather than timbaland, it would be received as ground breaking at this very point in time as its like a really smooth, different kind of sound with a pretty melody and interesting musical progression.
