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”
I took a walk for the very first time
On the dark side of the dance floor
Lit a match just to heat things up
But I got more than I bargained for
Mixed drinks mixed feelings of elation
I should have known it was a one night invitation
Don't sweat it forget it everything is a okay
Just let it go then it's off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
You walk around with my heart on your sleeve
Don't sweat it it's over now our time ran out
I took an oath but I'm giving it up
You didn't have to see things my way
Nothing more than a casual ****
Isn't that just how we operate?
Let's drink to feelings of temptation
You and I we're an overnight sensation
Don't sweat it forget it everything is a okay
Just let it go then it's off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
I walk around with your heart on my sleeve
Don't sweat it it's over now our time ran out
Outside the brake light's started to dim
I feel the tension that's been pulling us in
And then we do it again so we can feel all right
Falling in love for the night
Don't sweat it forget it everything is a okay
Just let it go then it's off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
You walk around with my heart on your sleeve
Don't sweat it it's over now
Our time ran out our time ran out
Our time ran out our time ran out
Our time ran out
On the dark side of the dance floor
Lit a match just to heat things up
But I got more than I bargained for
Mixed drinks mixed feelings of elation
I should have known it was a one night invitation
Don't sweat it forget it everything is a okay
Just let it go then it's off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
You walk around with my heart on your sleeve
Don't sweat it it's over now our time ran out
I took an oath but I'm giving it up
You didn't have to see things my way
Nothing more than a casual ****
Isn't that just how we operate?
Let's drink to feelings of temptation
You and I we're an overnight sensation
Don't sweat it forget it everything is a okay
Just let it go then it's off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
I walk around with your heart on my sleeve
Don't sweat it it's over now our time ran out
Outside the brake light's started to dim
I feel the tension that's been pulling us in
And then we do it again so we can feel all right
Falling in love for the night
Don't sweat it forget it everything is a okay
Just let it go then it's off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
You walk around with my heart on your sleeve
Don't sweat it it's over now
Our time ran out our time ran out
Our time ran out our time ran out
Our time ran out

OK for all the little bitches out there about them changing their music and everything, don't you think they would want to experiment with other types besides the same ones? And they aren't doing music for just their fans, they're doing it because they love music.
Does an artist paint the same thing over and over? Do florists grow the same flower forever? Then why should bands play the same type of music over and over?
And just because you're 13 and listen to them doesn't mean that you only care about how they look.
This band is awesome, it's just a bonus of how they look.
"And just because you're 13 and listen to them doesn't mean that you only care about how they look."<br /> <br /> Agreed. Seeing as I'm thirteen going on fourteen next month, I don't care about how they look. And I also believe it's extremely petty when people whine about them changing. While I prefer the beats from the older music, that doesn't mean I abhor their newer material. On the contrary, I adore every single song they've put out, released or not. I miss their old music and welcome the new music wholeheartedly. They're going to lose and gain fans by changing their music and you can't keep EVERYONE happy, right? At the end of the day, if they make something they're genuinely proud of, that should be what matters, not the people that despise their changes because they can't/don't accept/don't like it.
