Drop the act
Audiostrobelight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the ground
It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten down with you
Take off your coat, take off your shoes
We’ll drive away these winter blues that I could live in
I should’ve known that someday you would give in
I’ve been writing all day trying to come up with the right words to sayThat I don’t hate you, I just don’t want anything to do with you
Come on, you know you get it, you can’t be that naпve
Don’t hit me up three months later asking for reprieve
Before I jump off this roof wont you tell me what for?
Before I cut any deeper, doctor, hit me with the cure
I’ve got a good reason for calling you out
This ain’t a game
So drop the act, let me go on
I’ve been up all night
So drop the act, let me go on
I could go all night
Take off your coat, take off your shoes
We’ll drive away these winter blues that I could live in
I should’ve known
Before I jump off this roof wont you tell me what for?
Before I cut any deeper, doctor, hit me with the cure
I’m spinning my tires now and going nowhere
You say spread your love elsewhere
I’ve got tons to spare
So drop the act, let me go on
I’ve been up all nightSo drop the act, let me go on
I could go all night
And to think, through all of this, I thought I knew you
And to think, through all of this, I never knew you
Let me go on, let me go on
I’ve been up all night, I’ve been up all night
So drop the act, let me go on
I’ve been up all night
So drop the act, let me go on
I could go all night
