Obsession
Brandon Hilton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O-B-S-E-S-S-I-O-N
You and I and a velvet sky
Glistenin' stars twinkle in my eyes
Touchin' skin ??? fingertips
I taste blood every time we kiss

A million volts runnin' through my veins
Our eyes met and I'm never the same
Oh baby
I've got an obsession baby
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Your kisses drivin' me insane
And when we touch it's like lightning and rain
Oh baby
I've got an obsession baby
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

It's not easy, the way you please me
You broke me down
I'm a whore, you appease me
I found something in you
I just can't get enough
It's official, I'm obsessed
I just can't get you off
When I'm with you, I always want more
When we're apart, life is dark and a bore
Glistenin' stars twinkle in my eyes
Feel me up with your blood-stained lies

A million volts runnin' through my veins
Our eyes met and I'm never the same
Oh baby
I've got an obsession baby
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Your kisses drivin' me insane
And when we touch it's like lightning and rain
Oh baby
I've got an obsession baby
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

I've got an obsession
I've got an obsession
I've got an obsession
I've got an obsession
I've got an obsession
I've got an obsession baby

A million volts runnin' through my veins
Our eyes met and I'm never the same
Oh baby
I've got an obsession baby
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Your kisses drivin' me insane
And when we touch it's like lightning and rain
Oh baby
I've got an obsession baby




Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
