1999
VAllEY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was a monday morning 1999
he sold his records out
or gave them out somewhere
he shook his freedom up
it's never late to start
to get yourself another life
and drive the city
away, away, away
away, away, away

he left his painting's back
a broken piano where
he played romantic songs
for all the nice girls there
and in a pack of books

he left his idols there
he took his freedom for a ride one way

It's not over yet, over yet, over yet
It's not over yet, over yet, over yet
It's not over yet, over yet, over yet
It's not over yet, over yet, over yet

I'm going down, I'm going down to paris
I'm leaving all I'm leaving all my friends
I'm going down, I'm going down to paris
I'm leaving all I'm leaving all my friends
I'm going down, I'm going down to paris
I'm leaving all I'm leaving all my friends




I'm going down, I'm going down to paris
I'm leaving all I'm leaving all my friends

Woke up, it’s 2021
I wanna get texts
But I never wanna text back
Fuck man, I’m 2020 done
Another paycheck
And I blew it but I’m still sad
We talk all of the time
But it still feels like I’m just a voice on the line, so
If you wanna come over
Watch Friends and then get high
Use my phone as a coaster
We’ll travel back in time
Lights on the ceiling
We’re more than a feeling
If you wanna come over
Act like it’s 1999 (one, two, three, four)
Woke up
Had a dream about you
We were parked in a Pontiac
Making out, no internet
10 Things I Hate About You
Honestly nothing
We talk all of the time
And I love it
So what are you doing tonight?
If you wanna come over
Watch Friends and then get high
Use my phone as a coaster
We’ll travel back in time
Lights on the ceiling
We’re more than a feeling
If you wanna come over
Act like it’s 1999 (nine, nine, nine)
One sec
Do you mind if I’m nostalgic?
Let’s go back before 2000
Back before our love was so distracted
I wish that Y2K had happened
We would stay forever classic
You and I would both be trapped in
In 1999
We talk all of the time
And I love it
So what are you doing tonight?
If you wanna come over
Watch Friends and then get high
Use my phone as a coaster
We’ll travel back in time
Lights on the ceiling
We’re more than a feeling
If you wanna come over
Act like it’s 1999
