Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies (ooh) and it's alright
Bouncin' round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Every time I try to talk to you
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
Whens this fever gonna break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasin' you around
(Ooh)And it's alright
Bouncin round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
(Only second time through)
And slowly I begin to realize this is never gonna end
Right about the same time you walk by
And I say 'Oh here we go again' oh
Every time I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in

@chuckincharlie776
I just saw Nickleback live, and i’m incredibly puzzled about why they are such a trashed on band. Chad sounded literally the exact same as he does on albums and they were incredible live!
@marcusbruns9729
The vast majority of the general population is miserable. They have to shit on stuff others enjoy to try and make them miserable, as well.
@christianspain3015
Carlos Santana had multiple versions of this song with different vocal artists. However, I truly believe Chad's vocals were the best version hands down.
@JanRey526
Here to agree
@hardbully69
AGREE
@forensicsciencefan5645
Agreed! I don't think Alex Band's singing voice, as deep as it seemed FOR HIS PHYISICAL BUILD at the time, holds a candle on Chad Kroeger's here.
@adamcoe
Super mind blowing that the guy who wrote the song sings it the best, who knew
@marcusbruns9729
Chad wrote the song and was originally supposed to be the vocals. An issue with his record label prevented it.
@CharlieBella-ry9li
Chad Kroeger has written a song that has covered just about every event in my life. Now one for the love of my life! Thank you Sir you’re musical genius!
@tamila1082
I love, love, love Chad Kroeger's voice😍😍😍😍😍
