Fall Back 2U
Chromeo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause maybe you and I just can't be friends (ohh yeah)
Let's ride the freeway 'til the end
When loving is so good you can't pretend
I know I left you hanging
But I'm a right my wrongs
I'm gonna write you love lettersLike I wrote this song
Gonna put a plan together
Gonna put it all in motion
Every single thing I gotta do to fall back 2U
You ought to know I had a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot on my mind (oh yeah)
But it's never too late to try
You ought to know I had a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot on my mind (oh yeah)
But it's never too late to try, oh baby
Let's finally figure it out
If there's a problem we can air it out
I can't stand to be in a relationship when it stops
If we hit a wall, then watch
That could give us something to talk about
I could be there to catch the ball when it drops
I know I left you hanging
But I'm a right my wrongs
I'm gonna write you love letters
Like I wrote this song
Gonna put a plan together
Gonna put it all in motion
Every single thing I gotta do to fall back 2U
You ought to know I had a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot on my mind (oh yeah)But it's never too late to try
You ought to know I had a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot on my mind (oh yeah)
But it's never too late to try, oh baby
