And we will find our way there
Live like delicates
Before we go you'll know
The spotlight lives in all of us.

(and it's the oh)
And we'll set the stage
And walk away to find what's taken
(and it's the oh)
And we'll set the stage
And walk away to find you
You watch the way I'm talking
And I'll watch the way you're walking
I got the lines that'll be in you tonight

So take a listen while we glisten in the summer weather
We got the wine we just shake shake make it better
Don't you want to wear my diamonds.
Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop till you get on top
The beat won't stop till I

(and it's the oh)
And we'll set the stage
And walk away to find what's taken
(and it's the oh)
And we'll set the stage
And walk away to find you
Come on (make it better), let's do it (make it better),
You know that this won't last forever (make it better)

(and it's the oh)
And we'll set the stage
And walk away to find what's taken
(and it's the oh)
And we'll set the stage
And walk away to find you
"are you listening to everything that we have said?"
"are you listening to everything that we will say?"

    General Comment:i think its about doing cocaine!
    diamond is slang for cocaine
    "i got the lines that will be in you tonight"- lines of cocaine
    "shake,shake make it better"- people shake when they do cocaine and i guess they like the feeling so they feel better
    "dont stop til you get on top"- dont stop doing cocaine until you get high

    General Comment:Oh.. I just always assumed that the whole entire thing is about sex and virginity-taking...

    "We'll set the stage
    And walk away to find what's taken"

    I view this as "setting the stage" for their planned fun sexy-time and leaving once it's over to find out in the end that either one or both of them is no longer the same.

    "Don't you want to wear my diamonds?"

    I feel like that's a play on the term "pearl necklace."

    "Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop till you get on top
    the beat won't stop till I..."

    That's pretty obvious.

    But anyways, I get a feeling that most of their songs are purely about getting into a girl's pants primarily and then either feeling like it was just sex and nothing more or... something more in some cases.

    Song Meaning:I think the song means that when this band gets old, there will be other bands out there that you will listen to and like, and that will replace them. sort of like the saying, "this too shall pass".

    "And we will find our way there live like delicates before we go you'll know" this i'm pretty sure states that they had their moment of fame, and sooner or later, they will have to move on with their lives.

    General Comment:My favorite song ever. =]
    I think its about getting exactly where
    you want to be in fame, and then realizing
    its not worth being away from the person
    you love. Therefor, giving everything up.

    "And we will find our way there
    live like delicates
    before we go you'll know
    the spotlight lives in all of us."

    General Comment:i think its about a guy being friends with a girl and likes her,
    so hes making a plan or a "stage" with her on a fake realationship that other people are in too and what other people see
    but theyll "walk away to find whats taken" meaning they wont actually be like that to see what the relationship will be like in their own way
    and they "so take a listen while we glisten in the summer weather, we got the wine we just shake shake make it better" meaning theyll hang out and enjoy how they really are with each other
    but they know it wont last forever so they enjoy it now and make it the best that they can

    General Comment:One parts wrong.

    It's,
    "You like the way I'm talkin',
    well I like the way you're walkin'"

    And then blah, blah,
    I love this song.<3

    Song Meaning:Does OO stand for something? When I first heard this song, I thought they were saying "and it's the oh, oh....", like, just yelling out a few cries of pain or something. But then when I looked up the lyrics, they always say "OO", which looks like an acronym.
