Close To Me
Archers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We just know that we'll be all right
Even though we're kicked out the party 'cause we both hate everybody
We're the ones they wanna be like
So don't let me down
Keep me in trouble
Out in the jungle
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me
And if it wasn't you, I wouldn't want anybody close to me
'Cause I'm an animal, animal-al, like animal, like you
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me
You can never come too close for comfort
I had to cut my bitch off, she bein' stubborn
I make it known I fuck with you, not undercover
And when I jump in, I'm burnin' rubber
Iced out body, didn't go to college
Price tag poppin', then you on a private
Don't say sorry, everyone's watchin'
When you're where I am, everything's timeless
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me
And if it wasn't you, I wouldn't want anybody close to me
'Cause I'm an animal, animal-al, like animal, like you
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me
Close to me
Close to me
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me
And if it wasn't you, I wouldn't want anybody close to me
Because I'm an animal, animal-al, like animal, like you
And I don't wanna be somebody without your body close to me
Close to me
Close to me

on Farewell Fairweather
Fairwell Fairweather
Oh, where did your bones go
My words pass right through you like water through sand
Oh where did you heart go
I fed it love but you but the hand
You make me sick
Every word from your silver tongue is laced with poison.
You paint a pretty picture with the lies that you sow
But the dirty truth isn’t hidden to those who know.
You thought you had me under your thumb
You thought you had me feeling so numb
But now my eyes are open wide
And you’ve got nowhere to hide
Who do you who do you think you are
Acting like you own me but your words don’t leave scars
You can beat me down but I won’t break
You call me out but your the fake
Who do you think you are
Oh where did your soul go
That’s right, you sold it for your cheerful demeanor
Oh where did your faith go
Or was it all just for show
I’m giving up
Although I’d give you a chance if I had the slightest thought that you’d make a change
But it’s all in vain
You weren’t born this way
The truth is that it was a choice you made
Im done
This is the end of us
Say what you want to whoever you choose
But be prepared for when they find out the truth
You can hate me for who I am and that’s ok
At least I didn’t have to lie to make my name
