Lyrics
I don't know how I'm gonna say this
I am uncertain about how to express what I need to say
There's something I'm trying to hide right now
There's something I want to keep secret at the moment
I wonder if you can tell
I'm curious if you can sense it
You only just walked in and I feel like a kid on a carousel
Your recent arrival makes me feel excited and carefree like a child on a carousel
You talk your self through the room while I feel the sweat on my forehead
As you move around the room, I'm nervous and perspiring
You scan the room and start to make your way over to me
You survey the room and approach me
I don't know what to do or how to get you and me alone
I'm unsure about how to create an opportunity for us to be alone
But I don't wanna be friends with you no more
I no longer want a friendship with you
I wanna be close with you like that
I desire to be intimately close to you
I wanna do all the things that roam around my head
I want to engage in activities I've been imagining
I don't wanna be friends, no I don't wanna be friends
I don't want a friendship; I want to enter a dreamlike state
I wanna be in la la la land
Expressing the desire to be in a fantasy world
So take me to la la la land
Requesting to be taken to the fantasy world
I wanna be in la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la land
Repeated emphasis on the desire to be in a dreamlike land
And there's something I find myself plotting to do
Planning something with you
With you, with you, with you
Repetition of the desire to be with you
I hope it's no mistake and I don't wanna be rude
Hoping not to offend, but suggesting a shared interest
But I think, yeah I think you wanna do it too
Believing that you may also desire the same thing
I don't wanna be friends with you no more
Reiteration of the desire to end the friendship
I wanna be close with you like that
Expressing the wish to be intimately close
And I wanna do all the things that roam around my head
Wanting to engage in imagined activities
I don't wanna be friends, I don't wanna be friends, I don't wanna be friends
Emphasizing the desire to end the friendship
I wanna be in la la la land
Repeating the desire to enter a dreamlike state
So take me to la la la land
Requesting to be taken to the fantasy world
I wanna be in la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la land
Repeated emphasis on the desire to be in a dreamlike land
If you asked me if I wanna be friends I'd say
If asked about being friends, the answer would be a negative
Not with you, not with you, I don't wanna be friends
Expressing a clear disinterest in friendship with a specific person
Cause I don't, I don't wanna be friends, seriously
Firmly stating the lack of desire for friendship
All I wanna do
The primary desire is to be in a dreamlike land
All, all I wanna do is be in la land with you
Reiterating the desire to be in a fantasy world with the person
All I wanna do, all I wanna do, yeah
Continuing to express the desire to be in a dreamlike land
All, all I wanna do is be in la land with you
Repeating the desire to be in a fantasy world with the person
All I wanna do, all I wanna do
Continuation of the expression of the desire to be in a dreamlike land
I wanna be in la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la land
Repeated emphasis on the desire to be in a dreamlike land
I wanna be in la la la land
Requesting to be taken to the fantasy world
So take me to la la la land
Expressing the desire to be in a dreamlike land
La la la land, take me to la la la land
Repetition of the request to be taken to the fantasy world
