Tone Damli Aaberge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess it's easier to give up than work it out
Since when did we get so cynical
And what happened to falling in love and having someone catch your fall
And I know it's no ones business
What happens with you and me
But against the odds we made it
And I want the world to see
We're still hanging in there
And not giving in
Who really cares what they say
'Cause they never were there
And nobody compares
And they never will
'Cause we got it still
We can go around a million times
But at the end of the day you still give me butterflies
After it's all been said and done
We're still only lonely
You're still the only one
And I know it's no ones business
What happens with you and me
But against the odds we made it
And I want the world to see
We're still hanging in there
And not giving in
Who really cares what they say
'Cause they never were there
And nobody compares
And they never will
('Cause we got it still)
There are some thing that you just can't avoid
Never before it is so clear
Loving you now, I don't have any chores
And that's why we're
Still hanging in there
And not giving in
Who really cares what they say
'Cause they never were there
We're still hanging in there
And not giving in
Who really cares what they say
'Cause they never were there
And nobody compares
And they never will
So let them say what they will
'Cause they both know what suit you wear
Still hanging in there
'Cause they nerve were there
And nobody compares
And they never will
'Cause we got it still
