Chila Lynn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wrote your cell, on my hand.
Panicked when the numbers ran.
All I have this picture in my head, your eyes like diamonds as you said
Meet me here again, don′t make me wait
Sparkle, one time.
How'd I know that you′d be mine.
Big flash I crash, trying to make the moment last.
I've never seen it shine like this before.
Sparkle
Well I washed up like a drowned rat in a room of aristrocrats.
Out of breath in my shame until I heard you call my name.
All I have this picture in my head, your eyes like diamonds as you said
This party's boring me to death
Sparkle one time, How′d i know that you′d be mine.
Big flash I crash, trying to make the moment last.
Sparkle, daze me, make it jurt till you amaze me.
I've never seen it shine like this before.
Sparkle.
