Finish Your Sentences
Carly Pearce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, you know it looks so good on you
Should we go to that bar?
Yeah, you know I got a table for two
Should we call a, a cab?
It'll be here in five
Oh, there you go reading my mind
Crazy how you do what you do, you do
You know what I'm thinking 'fore I'm thinking it
Ooh, you light the fire and I keep it lit
Yeah, I know you better than you know yourself
You start it, I'll end it
I love that I can finish your sentences
Finish your sentences, yeah
On second thought
Maybe we should skip that party
I was thinking that too
Don't wanna share you with nobody
Maybe we should open up that bottle of wine
Call our friends and tell 'em we can't make it tonight
'Cause you know what I'm thinking 'fore I'm thinking it
Ooh, you light the fire and I keep it lit
Yeah, I know you better than you know yourself
You start it, I'll end it
I love that I can finish your sentences
Finish your sentences, yeah
No, no, no, nobody knows me like you
Crazy how you do what you do (what you do)
No, no, no, nobody knows me like you (knows me like you)
Crazy how you do what you do (what you do)
You know what I'm thinking 'fore I'm thinking it (before I'm thinking it)
Ooh, you light the fire and I keep it lit (I keep it lit)
Yeah, I know you better than you know yourself (better than you know yourself)
You start it, I'll end it
I love that I can finish your sentences
(I can) finish your sentences, yeah
(I can finish your sentences)
Your sentences, oh, mm
