Chip Off The Block Lyrics
I want the chip off the old block
I want a girl who I can talk to
stumblin' through your neighborhood
defacing walls just like I should
ooh, I wanted to be you
dirty like the skies
you live in space
your life's a waste like mine
so let's just stop before we die
I know you don't care at all
ooh but what if right before the end we quit
now, why don't we just stop before we die?
we saw our names in the lights
chasing dragons through echo park
raising hell on a quiet afternoon
sandbox heros, we lonely fools
ooh I wanted to be you
take that and put your lips like mine
'cause here in space we're wastin' all our time
so let's just stop before we die
I know you don't care at all
ooh, but what if right before the end we quit now
die or tell the truth
and don't you lie and tell the truth
before we die
always needed love
all I needed was love, was love
and I always needed you
all I needed was you, was you
was you, it's you
it's you
ooh, I wanted to be you
dirty like the skies
you live in space
your life's a waste like mine
so let's just stop before we die
I know you don't care at all
ooh, but what if right before the end we quit
let's try
and what if they're right and it's darkest before the light
come on tell me your truth 'cause you see I told you mine
or let's just stop before we die
before we die
before we die
before we die
before we die
I want a girl who I can talk to
stumblin' through your neighborhood
defacing walls just like I should
dirty like the skies
you live in space
your life's a waste like mine
so let's just stop before we die
I know you don't care at all
ooh but what if right before the end we quit
now, why don't we just stop before we die?
chasing dragons through echo park
raising hell on a quiet afternoon
sandbox heros, we lonely fools
take that and put your lips like mine
'cause here in space we're wastin' all our time
so let's just stop before we die
I know you don't care at all
ooh, but what if right before the end we quit now
die or tell the truth
and don't you lie and tell the truth
before we die
always needed love
all I needed was love, was love
and I always needed you
all I needed was you, was you
was you, it's you
it's you
dirty like the skies
you live in space
your life's a waste like mine
so let's just stop before we die
I know you don't care at all
ooh, but what if right before the end we quit
let's try
and what if they're right and it's darkest before the light
come on tell me your truth 'cause you see I told you mine
or let's just stop before we die
before we die
before we die
before we die
before we die

Why do these lyrics seem incredibly wrong?
Some of it's wrong, but the rest..
For one, from "sittin' in god's ear - kiss me, you magic apple" don't exist in the song.
(does sound good though ^^)
It's
"We saw our name in the lights Chasing dragons through Emerald Park Raising Hell on a quiet afternoon Sandbox hereos meet lonely fools"
There are other errors too. But other than that part, most of it is correct. That one bit was just major.
Yup. But as for the song meaning, obviously he wants a girl? She's apparently a lot like him, but I don't get the title. o.o; Does he like her mom as well? Hmm...
To answer Robotic Seizure, the title Chip Off The Block refers to the saying a chip of the ol' block. The phrase refers to any father's son who is or wants to be just like his dad, and this usually also infers father-son closeness. The father is the "block" (of wood) and the son is the "chip," so the son is of the same "wood block" as his father and is ergo very similiar.
I think the guy in the song has gotten a little older and starts comtemplating his future and decides he would like a family. He wants the chip of the old block and a girl he can talk to. He wants to settle down. He knows this girl he has obviously experienced many things with and they are both. He asks her in the song to stop and realize they are made for each other and they both might be able to find happiness with each other before they both get too old.
