Answer The Question 01:51
lyrics
Just before the gig there was this guy Actual night we had, that was an emotional roller coaster I can’t help you with this one She’s unapproachable This song makes me think about my mother The very beginning of a long and complex love story Outside the room at the end it’s just perfect I love his hair And not taken care of properly It made me unhappy Will be able to see the show I imagined the state of mind of one of the characters at the end of the movie and what would happen to him next Memories of the first summer we spent together And us running naked in the streets She’s a ghost When home really is this one place that you belong to In some way it was the best thing that ever happened to me A moment she’s there and the next she’s gone I don’t think so I mean drugs I have no idea You just look at people and this kind of thing happens It means he’s sad, he’s sad, yeah he’s sad, he’s so sad, he’s so sad I don’t know how, they are beautiful before they are bastards Masturbate I just wanted to write something after that They’re kind of like dark blue This guy was so uninteresting Just answer the question
