The Song
Tomas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Adventuretime - it starts with me
Let's just see how crazy things can go
It's not the plan

Out of gas, the engine's shot
Looks like I'm in another crappy spot
It's where I am
But you're the one who always asks if you can lend a hand
And I'm the one whose always got a problem you can mend

Bakersfield is years ago
Off the edge to LA is where we fell
And time will tell if we know each other well

Off to Vegas! Off we go!
Are we up or are we on the low
We'll never know

Rent is paid so money's tight
But, we'll be on the Vegas strip tonight
Just go with the flow

It's times like this we understand our friendship is to blame
And, Carol, i just realized we're much too much the same

Bakersfield is years ago
Off the edge to LA is where we fell
And time will tell if we know each other well

Sometimes it'll rain a storm
And the clouds won't let me be
But, sunny days are just ahead
You see? That's the way it's got to be instead

Bakersfield is years ago
Off the edge to LA is where we fell
And time will tell if we know each other well

Lat in dah, pa da dat da dat in dah, dat in dah, pa da dat da de dah, hey

Administer administrate
It's Thursday night they've got you staying late
It's what you do

Meanwhile I have yet to know
If I'll sing or do another show
It's pay as you go

I've never had a friend like you so willing to be there
And, Carol, I might not always show it but you've got to know I care
Got to know we care
You've got to know I care

Bakersfield is years ago
Off the edge to LA is where we fell
And time will tell if we know each other well

Lat in dah, pa da dat da dat in dah, dat in dah, pa da dat da de dah, hey
Lat in dah, da pah dah tah, lat in dah, pa da dat da dat in dah, dat in dah
Pa da dat da de dah, hey

Sometimes it'll rain a storm and the clouds won't let me be
But, sunny days are just ahead, you see?
That's the way its got to be instead
That's the way its got to be instead

Bakersfield is years ago
Off the edge to LA is where we fell
And time will tell if we know each other well

Lat in dah, pa da dat da dat in dah, dat in dah, pa da dat da de dah, hey
Lat in dah, da pah dah tah, lat in dah, pa da dat da dat in dah, dat in dah
Pa da dat da de dah, hey
Lat in dah, da pah dah tah, lat in dah, pa da dat da dat in dah, dat in dah
Pa da dat da de dah, hey




Lat in dah, da pah dah tah, lat in dah, pa da dat da dat in dah, dat in dah
Pa da dat da de dah, hey
