Learning by Song: Sit next to me (Foster the People)

Tuần này chúng ta cùng đến với “Sit next to me” của ban nhạc Foster the People với giai điệu vừa nhẹ nhàng, vui vẻ, vừa tràn đầy sức sống, được lấy cảm hứng từ âm nhạc đê mê của những năm 60s.

And it’s over, it’s over
I’m circling these vultures
Got me paying and it’s longer
Feeling something rotten
Last time I saw you said “What’s up?”
And pushed right through
Then I tried to catch you
But we are always on the move
And now it’s over, we’re sober
Symptoms of the culture
And the night ain’t getting younger
Last call is around the corner
Feeling kinda tempted
And I’m pulling out the truth
‘Cause baby now this talk is ’cause all I want is you

Now saying come over here sit next to me
See the things go naturally
Just say the word and I’ll part the scene
Just come over here, sit next to me
I’ll take you high

Well I am from my attentions
Got two men alive and chopped
It’s a midnight intervention
Got no plans to make it stop
Last time I saw you said
“Do you wanna keep it live”
But I’m here to tell you
I’m not trying to change your mind
It’s alright, it’s alright

Yeah come over here, sit next to me
See the things go naturally
Just say the word and I’ll part the scene
Just come over here, sit next to me
I’ll take you high

It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright

So come over here and sit next to me
See if things go naturally
Just say the word and I’ll part the scene
Just come over here, sit next to me
