Home Is Where The Box Wine Is
So Many Dynamos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we knew it wasnt that.
We checked none of the above
And we never made a mention after that.
Do you wanna die with dignity,
Or do you wanna go home with me?
Do you have a sense of decency,
Or do you wanna go home with me?
Too late is a little too little,
Too little is a little too late.
We called it making love,
But we knew it wasnt that.
We checked none of the above
And we never made a mention after that.
They dusted me for prints
And they found them on my hips.
We meant it when we touched,
We didnt mean it when we kissed.
