Rooting for You (Live Off the Floor) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got me feeling like the elephant
In every room I'm walking into, yeah
We started out innocent
Till I got pulled right into your issue, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of sending hugs and kisses, oh no
I'm tired of all your burning bridges

[Chorus]
It's like, damn
Why you gonna be so cold in the summertime, summertime?
I was really rooting for ya, yeah yeah
I was really rooting for ya, eh yeah
Why you gotta be so cold in the summertime, summertime?
I was really rooting for ya, oh no
We were really rooting for ya, yeah-eh, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Oh

[Verse 2]
Now I see you're having so much fun with everyone
You had so much fun making fun of
Did you go and bump your head?
Did you forget where you came from?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of sending my well wishes
I'm tired of all these burning bridges

[Chorus]
It's like, damn
Why you gonna be so cold in the summertime, summertime?
I was really rooting for ya, yeah yeah
I was really rooting for ya, eh yeah
It's like, man
Why you gonna be so cold in the summertime, summertime?
I was really rooting for ya, oh no
We were really rooting for ya, yeah, yeah-eh

[Bridge]
I'm not even brokenhearted
I'm just a little disappointed
What a shame, we coulda had a good thing
You let go of a good thing

[Chorus]
It's like, damn
Why you gonna be so cold in the summertime, summertime?
I was really rooting for ya, oh no
We was really rooting for ya
Oh, I was really rooting for ya
Why you gotta be so cold in the summertime, summertime?
I was really rooting for ya, yeah yeah
We were really rooting for ya, yeah yeah
[Outro]
It's like damn
In the summertime
I was really, I was really rooting for ya

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
