Description
Love turned out to be not a drama, but something like a prolonged lease with a neighbor who has no intention of moving out. At first, it seems fun, but then you start to notice that they are noisy, take up space, and make it difficult to breathe. And then you want to wave your hand and say, “Thank you, that's enough, the door is over there.”
Instead of tears, there's a checklist of refusals and a sense of relief when the space is finally freed up. A little anger, a little irony, and not a drop of regret. A dance rhythm that sounds like a sign on a fence: “No passage beyond this point. Move it along.”
Lyrics and translation
Original
(Oh, oh) I say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Oh, oh) Yeah, yeah, oh
Really had it bad for ya, wish it was simple
Now, all the love I had for ya is out the window
Wait until my brand new boo finds out I'm single
All that feeling sad for ya is out the window, window
Got me like move it along, please
Off of my lawn, please
Bring me along, please
Move it along, please
Off of my lawn, please
Move it along, please, oh
Shoulda seen the signs
But I look to the other side
You're own people told me you was just a waste of time
Finally free of lies, I over fantasise, ooh, woah
But hurry up and move it, cause you're holdin' up my line, mmh
When I say it's over, understand
When you don't cryin' no more, then you should panic
Got me like move it along, please (Move it along)
Off of my lawn, please (Oh)
Bring me along, please (Yeah)
Move it along, please (No, yeah)
Off my lawn, please
Move it along, please, oh
Hey, yeah, it's been two years, six months and eight days
You sold me a dream, I bought the whole thing
You know how many girls I could've entertained
Had it down for you, I bet you can't relate
And I thought I told you, don't play with a real one
Maybe, I'm gon' have to show you, oh
I can't even keep track of all the girls that I said no to
But I shoulda known your type, you're the type that learned to always lie
Got me like move it along, please (Oh, yeah)
Off of my lawn, please (No)
Bring me along, please (Yeah)
Move it along, please
Off of my lawn, please
Move it along, please (Woah)
(Oh, oh) Yeah, oh
(Oh, oh) Oh
(Oh, oh) Eeh
(Oh, oh) Yeah, oh
Move it along, move it along
Ooh, ooh, oh, ah
