I got a lot to say to you
Yeah I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here and it makes no sense at all

They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies

Crush, crush, crush, crush, crush (two, three, four)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us is counting on
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, this

If you wanna play it like a game
Well come on, come on let's play
'Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute

They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies

Crush, crush, crush, crush, crush (two, three, four)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us is counting on
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, this now

Rock and roll baby, don't you know that
We're all alone now, I need something to sing about
Rock and roll honey, don't you know baby
We're all alone now, I need something to sing about
Rock and roll honey, don't you know baby
We're all alone now, give me something to sing about

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us is counting on
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, no

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us is counting on
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, more than this
Oh, oh, ooh

    okay, im gonna try and explain what i get out of this song, line by line xD I got a lot to say to you Yeah, I got a lot to say I noticed your eyes are always glued to me Keeping them here And it makes no sense at all he obviously likes her, looks at her. but nothing more, therefore it makes no sence. They taped over your mouth Scribbled out the truth with their lies, your little spies They taped over your mouth Scribbled out the truth with their lies, your little spies his friends don't want him to say anything to her, and don't want them together for some reason. Crush Crush Crush Crush, crush (Two, three, four!) shes got a crush on him xD Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone Just the one, two of us who's counting on That never happens I guess I'm dreaming again Let's be more than this all she wants is to be alone with him but thats never gonna happen, cause he never does anything more to make it look like he wants her. she wants them to be together. If you wanna play it like a game Well, come on, come on, let's play Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending Than have to forget you for one whole minute so if he just plays with her mind, flirts with her. she's cool with that, cause its better than nothing. Rock and roll, baby Don't you know that we're all alone now? I need something to sing about Rock and roll, hey Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now? I need something to sing about Rock and roll, hey Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now? Give me something to sing about somehow shes managed to get alone with him, and his friends can't say anything or plant things in his head. she wants him to fall in love with her, she wants them to be together. so that she can have something REAL to sing about. this is just what i got out of this song.. i can relate much to this song

    I hate how much I can relate to this song. She has a crush on him and he likes her back, but he's in a position where he can't do anything about it. It's completely unfair to her, but she just wants to be with him, even if it means that their relationship stays platonic.

    I think this is my favorite song from Riot. It sounds like she was in love with someone but that person doesn't see her anymore because of someone else that wrapped him up with lies.

    i agree with gabbitastic, most of the song makes sense with the idea that she has a crush. playing it like a game is them flirting but nothing ever happens; it makes no sense that all he's doing is looking when they could be together; obviously, "let's be more than this"; and the one "two" she was counting on was.. them as a couple? maybe? hmm? but i can't figure out who "they" are. i thought maybe it's about gossip, and "they taped over your mouth / scribbled out the truth with their lies / your little spies" might be like the people talking behind their backs about their little crush, and every time someone tells someone else, they warp the truth with their lies. it's a stretch but it's really all i can think of!

    I'd like to start by saying I LOVE and LIVE this song. It is definitely about a guy. You think he likes you one second, and then suddenly he drops you like a hot potato when his friends come around. It is about basically being fed up with the mixed messages and knowing if you could just get him alone for a few seconds you might be able to change his mind. She is basically saying fuck your mixed messages, if you wanna play a game, well i can play just as hard as you. AND THEN when she finally gets him alone she realizes she has nothing to talk about (or "sing" about). Well, my meaning is just one of many. oh and koishiiyume what the hell r u smoking buddy boy? Peace, Love, Bee.

    i think she has a crush, and wants a nice "quiet evening alone" but he really doesn't like her back therefore she says "That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again" i don't know thats just my guess on this and how i really see it. it could mean something totally different though.

More Featured Meanings

Album art
Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.

Another Love
Tom Odell
I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.

System
Mel And Kim
Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning. This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive. She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end. So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started. There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.
