Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Hang your weary head you seem defeated
Like the little girl you've been with cheated
And in the conversation had to go too far
Now your dropped off drunk in the back of your heart
So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel
Using all you know it's meant for fools
See you're smoking up in the parking lot
Shake your little butt, show 'em what you got
Hot and the men all want and the chase is on?
Now your flag is flying in the dark and cold
So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel
Using all you know it's meant for fools
It's in a celebration
There's something in the air
A little celebration
There's something in the air
Are y'all giving up? Don't want to know now
And everybody sees everybody in your town
Oh, and the small town girl she went and got a bar
She gonna shake it off she gonna give 'em what she's got
So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel
Using aw you know, I said it's meant for fools
This is a celebration
There's something in the air
A little celebration
There's something in the air
This is a celebration
There's something in the air
A little celebration
There's something in the air
Like the little girl you've been with cheated
And in the conversation had to go too far
Now your dropped off drunk in the back of your heart
So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel
Using all you know it's meant for fools
See you're smoking up in the parking lot
Shake your little butt, show 'em what you got
Hot and the men all want and the chase is on?
Now your flag is flying in the dark and cold
So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel
Using all you know it's meant for fools
It's in a celebration
There's something in the air
A little celebration
There's something in the air
Are y'all giving up? Don't want to know now
And everybody sees everybody in your town
Oh, and the small town girl she went and got a bar
She gonna shake it off she gonna give 'em what she's got
So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel
Using aw you know, I said it's meant for fools
This is a celebration
There's something in the air
A little celebration
There's something in the air
This is a celebration
There's something in the air
A little celebration
There's something in the air

Lay your weary head, you seem defeated. Like a little girl, you've been cheated. And in the conversation heard it go too far, Now your dropped off drunk in the back of your heart.
Dry your lily eyes, don't be so cruel. Using all you know is good for fun.
See your smokin' up in the parking lot. Shake your little butt show em' what you got. Out in the man and woman and they say she's hot. Now your flag is flying and they're barking coke.
So dry your lily eyes, don't be so cruel. Using all you know is good for fun.
It's in the celebration, There's something in the air. A little celebration, There's something in the air.
All you're giving up don't want to know now. And everybody sees, everybody in your town. Oh and the small town girl she went and got a bar. She gonna shake it off, she's gonna give em what she's got.
So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel. Using all you know, I said it's time for fun.
It's in the celebration, There's something in the air. A little celebration, There's something in the air. It's in the celebration, There's something in the air. I need a celebration, There's something in the air.
Okay, this is what I got out of it, but there are definitely some parts that I think are wrong.
Lay your weary head, you seem defeated. Like a little girl, you've been mistreated. And in the conversation heard it go too far, Now your dropped off drunk in the back of your heart.
Dry your lily eyes, don't be so cruel. Things had all you know ain't good for fun.
See your smokin' up in the parking lot. Shake your little clutch show em' what you got. Out in the man and woman say she's hot. Now your flag is flying and they're barking coke.
Dry your lily eyes, don't be so cruel. Using all you now ain't good for fun.
It's in the celebration, There's something in the air. A little celebration, There's something in the air.
All you're giving up don't want to know now. And everybody sees, everybody in your town. Oh and the small town girl she went and got a bar. She gonna shake it off, she's gonna give em what she's got.
So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel. Using all you know, I said it's time for fun.
It's in the celebration, There's something in the air. A little celebration, There's something in the air. It's in the celebration, There's something in the air. I need a celebration, There's something in the air.
you definitely got more than I could, there's just a few things that I think might be different. I was hoping it was on the cd jacket and someone would post it eventually...<br /> <br /> Things had all you know ain't good for fun. --- (Using all you know is good for fun)?<br /> <br /> Out in the man and woman say she's hot. --- (all in the men have wanted him to say shes ours)?<br /> <br /> Now your flag is flying and they're barking coke. -- (Now your flag is flying and they're barking cold)?<br /> <br /> Using all you now ain't good for fun.
