Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throw the crown on the ground, I don't want to have any of it
We could run all you want, we could talk like you never knew it
You sell us out to anyone who talk to you, like you never knew it
But you don't mind, you don't mind where you want it (Do 'ya?)
And you could talk loud, you could talk loud if you know you want it
And I just want you to remember
What happened just 'till September?
If you know you want it, get it
Hold your head up
Reach for the sun
Hold your head up
Reach for the sun
Hold your head up
Reach for the sun
Hold your head up
Reach for the sun
(Reaching for the sun, you might be, be reaching for the sun, you might be)
(Be reaching for the sun, you might be, be reaching for the sun, you might be)
(Be reaching for the sun, you might be, be reaching for the sun, you might be)
(Be reaching for the sun, you might be, be reaching for the sun, you might be)
(Be reaching for the sun, you might be, be reaching for the sun, you might be)
(Be reaching for the sun, you might be, be reaching for the sun, you might be)
And I just want you to remember (Reaching for the sun, you know we're, reaching for the sun, you know we're)
Before you get carried away (Reaching for the sun, you know we're, reaching for the sun, you know we're)
What happened just 'till September? (Reaching for the sun, you know we're, reaching for the sun, you know we're)
I just want you to remember (Reaching for the sun, you know we're, reaching for the sun, you know we're)
Before you get carried away (Reaching for the sun, you know we're, reaching for the sun, you know we're)
What happened just 'till September? (Reaching for the sun, you know we're, reaching for the sun, you know we're)
And if you know you want it, get it

Hold me down
Let me drown
I don't want
To have any of it
Throw the crown
On the ground
I don't want
To have any of it
We could run
All you want
We could talk
Like you never knew it
Cause there was never anyone to talk to you
Like you ever knew it
[Pre-Chorus]
But you don't mind
You don't mind
Where you want it, do ya?
And you can talk loud
You can talk loud
If you know you want it
[Chorus]
I just want you to remember
Before you get carried away
What happened just this September
If you know you want it, baby
[Bridge x4]
Hold your head up
Reach for the sun
Reaching for the sun
Reaching for the sun, you know it
[Chorus x2]
I just want you to remember
Before you get carried away
What happened just this September
If you know you want it, baby
