Ready to Go
A Republica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ready to go
Ready to go

You're weird, in tears, too near and too far away
He said, saw red, went home, stayed in bed all day
Your t-shirt, dish dirt
Always love the one you hurt
It's a crack, I'm back, yeah, I'm standing
On the rooftop shouting out
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back, yeah, I'm standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out

You sleep, too deep, one week is another world
(Big mouth), big mouth, (drop out), drop out
You get what you deserve
You're strange, insane, one thing you can never change

It's a crack, I'm back, yeah, I'm standing
On the rooftops shouting out
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back, yeah, I'm standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out, shout it out

Ready to go

Abused, confused, always love the one that
Hurt ya, hurt ya, hurt ya, hurt ya

It's a crack, I'm back, yeah, I'm standing
On the rooftops shouting out
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back, yeah, I'm standing
On the rooftops having it
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops shout it out

It's a crack, baby, I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go




Baby I'm ready to go
Baby I'm ready to go
