1990something
Sub-Radio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Don't look down
Higher than Nirvana
We can dance it out
To Janet and Madonna
I don't fall in love
Baby, I'm a jumper
'Cause you, you make it feel like
1990 something You make it feel like 1990

Something's in the water, baby
Like I'm sipping on a time machine
All night undercover crazy
Take me down a teenage dream

'Cause I lost that part of me
So long ago
But you woke me up
It's like it never left at all

Don't look down
Higher than Nirvana
We can dance it out
To Janet and Madonna
I don't fall in love
Baby, I'm a jumper
'Cause you, you make it feel like
1990 something
1990 something
You make it feel like
1990

Something in the way you're talking
Got me feeling like I want to be
Going over waterfalls
Think I need a little TLC

And it's coming though like static on the phone
You make it feel like summer nights
When we were young

Don't look down
Higher than Nirvana
We can dance it out
To Janet and Madonna
I don't fall in love
Baby, I'm a jumper
'Cause you, you make it feel like
1990 something

1990 something

You make it feel like
1990 something

Come on, let's get lost in the moment
We were young
It was perfect
1990 ooh

Don't look down
Higher than Nirvana
We can dance it out
To Janet and Madonna
I don't fall in love
Baby, I'm a jumper
'Cause you, you make it feel like
1990 something
1990 something
You make it
You make it feel
Woah

You make it feel like
1990 something
