"La La" as written by Doug Corella, A.j. Dunning, Brad Vander Ark, Donny Brown and Brian Vander Ark....
with everyone around us singing la la we slid out of their view
then you thought you heard me singing la la but I don¹t have the strength to
and from the moment that i give out we begin to live out
scenes from all romantic prose while tethered to the roles
or what was meant disguised as sentiment could hang
misunderstood and left unanswered
your eyes tell me i have what i wanted haunted as i hold you
nervous slacking with the lacking heartache no heartbreak when i told you
and though i never did surrender could you please remember
if and when we meet again we once were more than friends
embarrassed me but would you share a scene and kiss me
one last time before i leave you
and though i won't surrender i want you to remember
if and when we meet again we'll still be more than friends
grant me this it could seem frivolous, but kiss me
one last time before i leave you
you've got all my loving in a tangle that i could never undo
and you will never hear me singing la la
i guess la la means i love you
then you thought you heard me singing la la but I don¹t have the strength to
and from the moment that i give out we begin to live out
scenes from all romantic prose while tethered to the roles
or what was meant disguised as sentiment could hang
misunderstood and left unanswered
your eyes tell me i have what i wanted haunted as i hold you
nervous slacking with the lacking heartache no heartbreak when i told you
and though i never did surrender could you please remember
if and when we meet again we once were more than friends
embarrassed me but would you share a scene and kiss me
one last time before i leave you
and though i won't surrender i want you to remember
if and when we meet again we'll still be more than friends
grant me this it could seem frivolous, but kiss me
one last time before i leave you
you've got all my loving in a tangle that i could never undo
and you will never hear me singing la la
i guess la la means i love you

anyway... i think this is talking about an ex, and wanting them back, and hoping they remember you... my two cents on the issue.
Anyhow. Good song. Definitely to do with an ex, but when I try to pin down any specific meaning, it just seems all jumbled and complex. But, I suppose that's just the nature of the song's reflection on this relationship: a mash of roles, expectations, heartbreak, and all that other good stuff.
"from the moment that i give out we begin to live out

Basicaly as soon as he put out it was like shakespeare he couldn't escape. drama, over reacting, as the more he tries to fix it is the more drama she brings because she doesnt understand what he's doing and he doesnt understand how to make things better.
He eventually goes on to saying "im not gonna back down i am leaving you, but grant me that one last kiss for the role you've been playing, grant me that last kiss to appease the both of us" she's just got him so disoriented that he wants to escape her but yet he wants her to stick close by and they'll always be more than friends "if and when we meet again we'll still be more than friends" which means he still has something for her but would never pursue it more than what they just had. Since she'll never hear him singing lala he will never actually "love" her.
I just love at the end the constant "lala..lala...lala" kinda like a slap in the face for her
