Hey darling, I hope you’re good tonight
And I know you don’t feel right when I’m leaving
Yeah, I want it, but no, I don’t need it
Tell me something sweet to get me by
‘Cause I can’t come back home ‘til they’re singing
La, la la la, la la la
‘Til everyone is singing
If you can wait ‘til I get home
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
If you can wait ‘til I get home
Then I swear come tomorrow this will all be in our past
Well it might be for the best
And hey sweetie, well I need you here tonight
And I know that you don’t want to be leaving me
Yeah, you want it, but I can’t help it
I just feel complete when you’re by my side
But I know you can’t come home ‘til they’re singing
La, la la la, la la la
‘Til everyone is singing
La, la la la, la la la
If you can wait ‘til I get home
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
If you can wait ‘til I get home
Then I swear come tomorrow this will all be in our past
Well it might be for the best
I know you can’t give me what I need
And even though you mean so much to me
I can't wait through everything
Is this really happening?
I swear I’ll never be happy again
And don’t you dare say we can just be friends
I’m not some boy that you can sway
We knew it’d happen eventually
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody’s singing
La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody’s singing
La, la la la, la la la
If you can wait ‘til I get home
(Now everybody’s singing)
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
(La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody’s singing)
If you can wait ‘til I get home
(La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody’s singing)
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
(La, la la la, la la la
Now everybody’s singing)
La
And I know you don’t feel right when I’m leaving

‘Til everyone is singing
If you can wait ‘til I get home
Then I swear to you that we can make this last

And I know that you don’t want to be leaving me
Yeah, you want it, but I can’t help it
I just feel complete when you’re by my side
But I know you can’t come home ‘til they’re singing
La, la la la, la la la

Does it mean: 'We knew we'd never really make it together' ?
or 'We knew people would eventually sing lalala' ?
or ‘We knew we’d be together eventually’ ?
My two cents.
La, la la la, la la la"
Obviously he can't come back home till his band has made it.
The whole song he's asking her to wait for him, and she says "I can't wait through everything"
The song ends with "Now everybody's singing La." Symbolising that he's come home, because he couldn't come home until everyone was singing La.
I really think this could just be about a long-distance relationship and it's hard for them. Either long-distance, a band touring, or even the armed forces.
"Hey darling, I hope you're good tonight
And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving
Yeah, I want it, but no, I don't need it
Tell me something sweet to get me by"
The guy is probably in a band and is leaving his girlfriend to go on tour maybe?
"'Cause I can't come back home 'til they're singing
La, la la la, la la la
'Til everyone is singing"
He won't come back until his band is succesful and their fans are singing for them.
"If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear to you that we can make this last
If you can wait 'til I get home
Then I swear come tomorrow this will all be in our past
Well it might be for the best"
Pretty obvious. As soon as the guy makes it with his band, he's gonna get with her. lol
"Hey sweetie, I need you here tonight
And I know that you don't want to be leaving me
Yeah, you want it, but I can't help that
I just feel complete when you're by my side
But I know you can't come home 'til they're singing
La, la la la, la la la
'Til everyone is singing
La, la la la, la la la"
The girl telling him how she feels about the whole thing. Seems that right now she's kinda okay with him leaving.
"I know you can't give me what I need
And even though you mean so much to me
I can't wait through everything"
Eventually, the girl is fed up with all that.
"Is this really happening?
I swear I'll never be happy again
And don't you dare say we can just be friends
I'm not some boy that you can sway"
Guy is desperate, kinda tries to convince her to stay with him.
"We knew it'd happen eventually"
Still they both knew it would end this way.
And in the end, when the crowd is singing, that means he finally made it with his band but it's over between them.
and stuff.
:3
La, la la la, la la la" are for sure telling that he refuses to come home till everyone knows ADTR and what their all about as a band
