BANKS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't mind if everybody's far behind
Don't care if they can't understand the way
That you and I just want to be next to each other every day
You and I
We're just like magnets, baby
Hypnotized, Even addicted to your grumpy face
I know exactly just how many kisses fit between your eyes
I'd run away, I'd run away
If you would join with me
Oh I could be a little grumpy, but hold on
Just wanna tell you that I see you, baby, do you see me?
'Cause this is special, baby
Fuck 'em only we know
Did I say
You're all that matters to me anyway
I'd give up everything to see your face
So come on, let's pretend
That no one else is watching while we play
By your side
That's where I have to be now we won't hide
I breathe your kisses just to stay alive
I see exactly what you think
And I can feel you with my eyes
Only we know
Only we know
Only we know
Oh
I'd run away, I'd run away
If you would join with me
Oh I could be a little grumpy, but hold on
Just wanna tell you that I see you, baby, do you see me?
'Cause this is special, baby
Fuck 'em only we know
I'd run away, I'd run away
If you would join with me
Oh I could be a little grumpy, but hold on
Just wanna tell you that I see you, baby, do you see me?
'Cause this is special, baby
Fuck 'em only we know
Only we know
Only we know
Only we know
Only we know
Only we know
Only we know
Only we know
Only we know
