Like Boom
Vita Chambers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like fast cars and Candy Bars, I like you
I like staying out and sleeping in, I like you
But when you get so close to me, I don't know what to do
It's like boom, like boom, like boom

I like milkshakes and lots of bass, I like you
I like wolverine and James Dean, I like you
My pulse shoots straight up to the moon
When you're in the room
It's like boom, like boom, like boom
And it's all because of you

My friends say I'm crazy
They all try to save me
There is nothing they can do
Everyone else is boring
Not even worth ignoring
It's just what I'm addicted to

It's like boom

I like blue jeans, and Trampolines, I like you
I like Cartoons and full moons,I like you
It doesn't matter what you say
Cause everything you do
It's like boom, like boom, like boom

I like 808s and chocolate cake, I like you
I like Saturdays, Hell, what I say, I like you
My pulse shoots straight up to the moon
When you're in the room
It's like boom, like boom, like boom
And it's all because of you (yeah, yeah)

My friends say I'm crazy
They all try to save me
There is nothing they can do
Everyone else is boring
Not even worth ignoring
It's just what I'm addicted to

Everyone else is boring
Not even worth ignoring
It's just what I'm addicted to

It's like boom
Buh-buh boom

What can I say
What can I do
Everything's louder
When I'm next to you
Feels like I'm shaking
Room is earthquaking
Feels like the whole world is 8 0 8ing

My friends say I'm crazy
They all try to save me
There is nothing they can do
Everyone else is boring
Not even worth ignoring
It's just what I'm addicted to

Everyone else is boring
Not even worth ignoring
It's just what I'm addicted to
(hey, hey)





It's like boom
Buh-buh boom
