Cream
Barbott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And the ocean flows
That turns me on
It's hard for me to get by
But it won't stop.
How come nobody knows
it's so fucking hard
to be left in the past?
How will I ever get her
it's hard for me
But for you to let down
I wouldn't doubt
How come nobody knows
it's so fucking hard to be
left in the past?

As I go through the line
As I go through the line
As I go through the line





Feels alright
Feels alright
