"I don't want to get signed. I don't do this for money, and I didn't do this with the intention to get big. I just want to have fun, and I'd like to keep it that way" - Nicholas Joseph

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I turn all the power off in my living room
I close, I close the door
Because distance wants, they mean so much more
You're moving on just how all the clouds pass by
Tired of waiting, now it's either do or die
Don't even think of resettin' your clock
We're falling faster than the stars
You're taking the cookies out of the jar
Lucy, you've got some explaining to do
We're running off like water falls
Why leave when you have it all?
If that's the way the cookie crumbles,
I hope I was your greatest stumble
We're falling faster than the stars
You're taking cookies out of the jar
Lucy, you've got some explaining to do
Running off likes waterfalls
Why leave when you have it all?
If that's the way the cooke crumbles,
I hope you were my greatest stumble
