Don't try to tell me that my intentions are untrue.
My eyes like butterflies you caught 'em and they're open wide.
Clouded and hazy future clear whenever I'm with you.
Just think of all the things we could do to pass the time.
It's a walk in the park, it goes:

Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na.
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na.

Cuz everybody's got a little pieces of someone they hide.
It's okay, it's the way we distract until the day that we die.
And though our future's gone uncertain it's gonna be alright.
Cuz though I'm leaving longing leaves me ever by your side.

And all our time together is tearing me apart... I can't hold you tomorrow but I hold you in my heart.
And all our time together is tearing me apart... I can't hold out forever, but I hold you in my heart.

Don't try to tell me that my intentions are untrue.
Don't even bother tryin' to tell me cuz you live a lie.
Cuz a moment or a minute I can see it through.
And have a precious little second of you by my side.
It goes:

Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na.
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na.

And our futuer's lookin bright.
In all the little pieces of the people that we keep inside.
Cuz you can do-make-say-think-laugh-sink-drink all night...
All the little visions all the little moments that we keep inside.

All our time together is tearing me apart... I can't hold you tomorrow but I hold you in my heart.
All our time together is tearing me apart... I can't hold out forever, but I hold you in my heart.

    General Comment:This is such a good song. I think this song is just a good old fashioned love song. The pieces of the people we love are the bits of them we hold in our heart (not literal "bits" but the more romantic, figurative "bits", like memories and love) If you have ever heard the term "my heart belongs to you" that is kinda what they are talking about here. My heart is a little piece of you that I keep inside.

    Such a nice song

    General Comment:I think I prefer Mattie's songs over Luke's, they're more wordy and danceable. But all of their songs are awesome and lots of fun.
