Uptown Stomp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No more messages, no missed calls, no new mail, no sign of life
Let's pick up were we left off, it's been a month
Doesn't matter anyway, what you say
Still feel the same,
So feel the same.
Before things don't turn out
Just wait, contemplate
Before things don't turn out like they should
Don't throw away the memories, but live in the now
I'm standing here, all i see is you, all you hear is me
You say you're gonna hate it, it's too cold
You'll find your place, I just hope it's here
