Lyrics & Translation

作曲 : Daniel Nigro/Olivia Rodrigo

I think that you’re killer

With your floppy hair

Take me out to dinner

You know you can take me anywhere

And all of my girlfriends roll their eyes

And tell me to take it slow this time

But I got a feeling

Wounds are healing

Talking on the phone

I know everybody changes

But I hope that we don’t

Carve our names

Into the car seat leather

You plus me equals a heart forever

A heart forever

Ohh

I like your big sister

She has your same face

And I tried to win her

Over with my

Cynical humor and yacht rock music taste

And all my ex-boyfriends have heard these lines

(let’s get married when we’re 25)

But I like you better by a million times

And I got a feeling

Wounds are healing

Talking on the phone

I know everybody changes

But I hope that we don’t

Carve our names

Into the car seat leather

You plus me equals a heart forever

A heart forever ohh

A heart forever ohh

So buy me silver jewelry

And all my favorite Cadbury

And tell me yet again

About when we met and what you thought of me

Sometimes I get overwhelmed

And way too far ahead of myself

I often get the feeling that I’ll never want somebody else and

They say modern love’s a cruel endeavor

And to that I say **** it whatever

‘Cause I got a feeling

Wounds are healing

Talking on the phone

I know everybody changes

But I hope that we don’t

Carve our names

Into the car seat leather

You plus me equals a heart forever

And ever and ever and ever

Ohh

Forever and ever and ever

Ohh
