Addict
Alexis Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been running for sometime
Like I don't know what to do

I've been drinking every night
As I run right back to you

Show me money, then you call me hunny
And realise, that you're lost until you find

Let's the play the game just one more time
Practicing lines of something new

Ive been running for some time
Like I don't know what to do

I've been praying every night
As I crawl right back to you

Mocha lucky,
Put fire in my bloodstream and realise, that I'm lost until I find

Let's play the game just one more time
Practicing lines of something new

So let's get lost tonight
Trying to find
A little piece of heaven

Got time to kill
Can't we feel like this forever

Cos I'm an addict
Why do you treat me like you do
Cos I'm an addict
That's why I'll always be with you

So let's get lost tonight
Trying to find
A little piece of heaven

Got time to kill,
Can't we feel like this forever

So let's get lost tonight
Trying to find
A little piece of heaven





Got time to kill
Can't we feel like this forever
