Bag Raiders Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold tight
At midnight
Am I dreaming or are you beaming out?
Are you beaming out?

Like light
Snow White
Red fluorescence, iridescence now

Are you beaming out?

Don't you know that
When I see your face
It's like sunlight dripping

When I see your face
It's like sunlight dripping

You're just like
You're just like
Sunlight
Sunlight

You're just like
You're just like
