Cara Alessia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh and I overdose
Boy, I want off of this roller coaster
You take me high just to bring me down
Oh, and you bring me down, down

I'm trying not to take too much
I'm in over my head
Over love, boy I over trust
Give me the chance to pick up the pieces you left me in, why did I let you in?
Overzealous, I'm over this, oh I'm over us
Over and over, I let you under my skin and it's over
I promise never again you'd come over
Something takes over me, I can't control this hallucinogen

Oh, and I overdose
Boy, I want off of this roller coaster
You take me high just to bring me down
Oh, and you bring me down
Oh, and I overdose
Boy I want off this of roller coaster
You take me high just to bring me down
Oh, and you bring me down

We fight, we laugh, detox, rehab
Letting go of what we had
Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Over trying, over lies, over crying, over-traumatized
Overworked and moreover I'm done
Over and over, I'm falling under your spell, call me over
I'm runnin' back to this hell you come over
And didn't you say we were through, why can't I get over you?

Oh, and I overdose
Boy, I want off of this roller coaster
You take me high just to bring me down
Oh, and you bring me down
Oh, and I overdose
Boy, I want off of this roller coaster
You take me high just to bring me down
Oh, and you bring me down

Boy, I come crashing, crashing
Down from the high and wondering, wondering
Wondering why this ain't over
Let it just be over
Sobering thoughts taking over my mind

Oh, and I overdose
Boy, I want off this roller coaster
You take me high just to bring me down
Oh, and you bring me down
Oh and I overdose
Boy I want off this roller coaster




You take me high just to bring me down
Oh, and you bring me down

@princessjasm

I don't know why, but my favorite part of this song is when she says, "We fight, we laugh. Detox, rehab." Not sure why, but I literally have an addiction to that one line in the whole entire song.
