Why Don't We Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We could paint the perfect picture
About us
From your head to toe I'll fit you
They follow us
Yeah we make the biggest fiction
They believe it so I guess it must be real
I can read your mind
I know what you're thinking
I could spend my time
Feeling all the reasons
What they know about us
Doesn't make a difference
Baby we got us
We on something different
We on something, something, some
We on something different
We on something, something, some
We on something different
We on something, something, some
We on something different
We on something, something, some
We on something different
In a rush
Even though we young we flexin'
We fall in love
About a hundred times a day
Like it's not enough
Yeah we make the biggest fiction
They believe it so I guess it must real
I can read your mind
