Streets
Akon Ft. L.A. & Chenelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eyes bleed and I see red like Twong
As the winter eats me up in the cold
When will you understand
That I'm just so sick of you
So many voices in my head
I'm just so sad and blue
But then I see how deep your eyes gaze leads me
Go away clouds, time for the sun to drive us apart
I'm back up in my spaceship, you know I'm about to take off
Wanna go on pricey dates, you tired of the park
Feeling lonely in the whip
Don't let it get in my head
I can't listen to the voices in my head
Telling me I'm outta luck
Now you talkin all crazy, you waiting on me
I guess it takes too long to grow up
But then I see how deep your eyes gaze leads me
Out of the abyss within my heart
Go away clouds, time for the sun to drive us apart
