Be About You
Winston Surfshirt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You won't say any sign
You will get yours but I don't get mine
So what I would do to be with you
You will never know, do whatever y'all say so
'Til about a quarter of my life has almost passed
Even shorter if you mightn't be making it last
When I was on the back seat sayin'
Don't know how I feel about you
Got my hopes sunk and I keep on fantasizing and I
Know it's just a feel about you
Got my hopes sunk and I keep on fantasizing and I
I just wanna be about you
Just to be about you
Don't know how I feel about you
Just to feel it there
I see the way you're dawdling and it's like an inkling
It's the kind of thing that make you sort of think
And I just wanna be with you
I got the better view
When I should be doing mine I end up
Do a quarter of my life has almost passed
Even shorter if you mightn't be making it last
When I was on the back seat saying
Don't know how I feel about you
Got my hopes sunk and I keep on fantasizing and I
Know it's just a feel about you
Got my hopes sunk and I keep on fantasizing and I
I just wanna be about you
Just to be about you
Don't know how I feel about you
Just to feel it there
Don't know how I feel about you
Got my hopes sunk and I keep on fantasizing and I
Know it's just a feel about you
Got my hopes sunk and I keep on fantasizing and I
I just wanna be about you
Just to be about you
Don't know how I feel about you
Just to feel it there
