Cherrybomb
Astrobrite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you see yourself turn inside
You always said half light
You see yourself run free
Then soft wings eyes fold up
Can't you see
Clear and true
Then someone's eye half light
You're the one
Yes you are
I love my cherrybomb
I love my cherrybomb
It looks so sweet
I love my cherrybomb
I love my cherrybomb
It looks so sweet
Come to me sweet
You talk to my soul
I don't turn the sea
You take to myself
Looking up into the sky
Breaking through your touch
Dying too so softly
Dying felt so sweet
You're the one
Yes you are
I love my cherrybomb
I love my cherrybomb
It looks so sweet
I love my cherrybomb
I love my cherrybomb
It looks so sweet
