Sprinter Van
Carr Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like your hands
On your guitar
I like the way you fit your amp into your car You wear all black
Don't know what for
You looked at me walk through the door So sue me
I can be your groupie
Take me to your mom's house
I know you want to do me

I really like your band
I can be your biggest fan
Makeout in your sprinter van baby I really like your scene
Pretty boys in skinny jeans
Microdosing nicotine lately
I can be your one night stand
If you want a one night stand
I really like your band
I can be your biggest fan
Meet me in your sprinter van maybe
I like your hair
You're really pale
My favorite color's on your nails
I like your lyrics
They're pretty sick
I heard your drummer's such a dick So sue me
I can be your groupie
Take me to your mom's house
I know you want to do me
I really like your band
I can be your biggest fan
Makeout in your sprinter van baby I really like your scene
Pretty boys in skinny jeans
Microdosing nicotine lately
I can be your one night stand
If you want a one night stand
I really like your band

I can be your biggest fan
Meet me in your sprinter van maybe
