Lyrics

Bummer Time

[Intro]

Bummer time, bummer time

It's bummer time

Bummer

Bummer time, bummer time

It's bummer time

Bummer

Bummer time, bummer time

It's bummer time

Bummer

Bummer time, bummer time

It's bummer time

Bummer

[Verse 1]

I'd think about you all week long

My mind constantly singing your theme song

And did you know I looked up to you?

I wanna be just like you

[Chorus]

No one knows how it was for me

No one knows what you meant to me

Everyone talks about it like they were there

All this nostalgia, but nobody cares

Everyone talks about it like they were there

All this nostalgia, but nobody cares

[Post-Chorus]

I woke up early just for you

I waited all week long for you, too

And there you were on my TV

It's like you were there just for me

[Bridge]

Bummer time, bummer time

It's bummer time

Bummer

Bummer time, bummer time

It's bummer time

Bummer

Bummer time, bummer time

It's bummer time

Bummer

Bummer time, bummer time

It's bummer time

Bummer

[Verse 2]

When the time came, I'd play along

I didn't know that you'd soon be gone

And now you're back, what can I say?

I can't even look at you the same way

[Chorus]

No one knows how it was for me

No one knows what you meant to me

Everyone talks about it like they were there

All this nostalgia, but nobody cares

Everyone talks about it like they were there

All this nostalgia, but nobody cares

[Post-Chorus]

I woke up early just for you

I waited all week long for you, too

And there you were on my TV

It's like you were there just for me

[Outro]

Bummer time
