Song Lyrics

"Sing It Like You Mean It"

by John Reuben
Album: Word of Mouth

What's round on the ends and high in the middle (Ohio!)
I'm leaving to maximize my potential
U-Haul rental packed full of the essentials
Confidence check
Yes I'm feeling special
Let's get it
Let's get it
Let's get it started
Someday I'll be your favorite artist
Dumb enough to be that confident
Beat the odds with a back handed compliment

Sing it like you mean it (c'mon c'mon)
Make me believe it (c'mon c'mon)
Dream like you own it (c'mon c'mon)
The party ain't stopping, the party ain't

12 guys in a two bedroom apartment
Living large shouldn't look this desperate
Walking on stars bums on a park bench
Here's a quarter to avoid a' argument, Oh!
We felt like the very first ones
Trying to write the universe an anthem
Tomorrow we're old
Tonight we're young
What could be more brilliant than to just play dumb (hey!)

Sing it like you mean it (c'mon c'mon)
Make me believe it (c'mon c'mon)
Dream like you own it (c'mon c'mon)
The party ain't stopping, the party ain't

Sing it like you mean it (c'mon c'mon)
Make me believe it (c'mon c'mon)
Dream like you own it (c'mon c'mon)
The party ain't stopping until we've outgrown it

Roaring twenties depressed at thirty
Busy bodies move with urgency
I put my ear to the street
Somebody catch me up to speed
I want to win but I don't want to compete
Take the good with the bad
Chew the meat spit the fat
Own some land pay the tax
Mini van with two and a half
Raise your glass toast to past
It all happened a little too fast
Passionate about what you can't get back

Sing it like you mean it (c'mon c'mon)
Make me believe it (c'mon c'mon)
Dream like you own it (c'mon c'mon)
The party ain't stopping, the party ain't

Sing it like you mean it (c'mon c'mon)
Make me believe it (c'mon c'mon)
Dream like you own it (c'mon c'mon)
The party ain't stopping until we've outgrown it
