MAY
Alpha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking at you talking to me
You’re sitting right across the table
You may take my hand in your hands
You may take me home tonight
Drinking with you, sinking in you
I’m swaying through the conversation
You may ask what makes me happy
You may ask for one more dance
Looking at you looking at me
You may want to leave without me
Drinking slower, sinking faster
Your mouth is leaning in towards me
I can’t breathe without you
But i can breathe just with you
You may want to leave without me




You may take me home tonight
You may want to leave without me
