Lyrics
Let's go back to where it all began
Reflecting on the beginning of the relationship.
We were just kids, yeah kids, holding hands
Recalling the early days of being young and in love.
We went, to the record store
Visiting a place significant to the relationship—the record store.
We reached for the same one, that's for sure
Both reaching for the same record, indicating shared interests.
I wanna be a fool now for your love
Expressing willingness to be foolish for the sake of love.
Can't concentrate in school now for your love
Struggling to focus on academic pursuits due to love.
I'm a stupid fool now for your love
Acknowledging foolishness for the intensity of love.
It's gonna be over soon our love
Suggesting an impending end to the relationship.
Let's go now, to present day
Transitioning to the present, observing the partner with someone else.
I saw your girlfriend, man I guess she's okay
Commenting on the adequacy of the new girlfriend.
We were at, at the same record store
Returning to the same record store, a symbol of shared memories.
She's got a terrible taste in music, that's for sure
Criticizing the new girlfriend's taste in music.
She's gonna be a fool now for your love
Suggesting the new girlfriend will experience foolishness for love.
Can't concentrate in school now for your love
Implies difficulty concentrating in school due to love.
She's a stupid fool now for your love
Labeling the new girlfriend as a foolish lover.
It's gonna be over soon your love
Reiterating the imminent end of the new relationship.
I told you it was gonna be over soon boy
Confirming earlier predictions of the relationship's end.
I guess you made her realize she wasn't a fool anymore
Acknowledging the impact of the protagonist on the new girlfriend.
The only thing you could ever give her was a decent band to listen to
Highlighting the protagonist's contribution of good music to the ex's life.
Now she's spinning my record, hahaha
Indicating the ex-partner now enjoys the protagonist's music.
Woo, isn't that ironic
Expressing irony in the situation.
Isn't that so fucking ironic
Emphasizing the unexpected twists in the story.
I guess it was you who was the fool boy
Reversal of roles, admitting the protagonist's foolishness.
You were always a fucking fool
Final assertion of the protagonist's foolishness throughout.
